How to diagnose back pain?

I had terrible lower back pain last month due to bad posture at my desk. My physiotherapist diagnosed it as a muscle strain and helped me fix it with simple core exercises. Try to get a professional assessment if the pain doesn't go away in a week.

Hey, back pain is so annoying, especially if you have to sit for long hours. Usually, it's just a muscle spasm, but if it's really sharp or persistent, it's best to see an orthopedic doctor. In the meantime, try using a heating pad for some relief.

Please don't try crazy chiropractic cracks you see on social media for back pain. It can make a slipped disc much worse. Go to a certified medical doctor, get a physical exam, and let them decide if you need an X-ray or MRI.

Back pain is the worst! Try lying down flat on a yoga mat and doing some gentle knee-to-chest stretches. If it is a sharp pain that won't let you sit, definitely skip the home cures and see a physiotherapist soon.

For normal backaches, first check if your mattress is too soft or if you are slouching on the chair. Try sleeping on a firm surface and doing basic back stretches. If there is no improvement in 4-5 days, just go to a local orthopedic doctor for an X-ray.
