Ensure that you maintain an appropriate posture while working or sitting or walking....Take frequent stretch breaks and drink lots of water...Discontinue using pillow while sleeping straight...Do not lift heavy objects, especially after bending down....Eat a healthy wholesome meal which should satisfy your minerals and proteins requirement...take over the counter pain medications.. Consult nearest orthopedic surgeon they will do the needful.

Pain is due to lifting of heavy weight. So best remedy would be REST. Bed rest gives relief to the problem. If its compulsory to go to office he need to have back support while driving|travelling and while sitting in the office. Time will heal it with strict bedrest. For temporary comfort you can apply any ointment and massaga. When he lies down the bed should b hard and flat.if d pain is unbearable then he can take Solo 650 mg two times a day till d pain subsides

Hello there. I can understand your concern. He might have sprained a muscle. Do not massage, you can use a icepack if you want. Take a tablet zerodol-TH8 twice a day after food for three days, it should subside, if it still doesn't subside, consult a orthopedician in person for further help. Best regards.

Hi. Don't worry. It might have sprained his muscles of the spine which support his lower back. Purchase Oil Pinda Taila and Mahavishagarbha Taila from Ayurveda Stores nearby. Take 50 ml in each and warm them together. Prepare a cotton pad measuring 6inch by 6 inch. Soak the pad in the warm oil and put it over the place which pains maximum. Retain it for 30 to 40 mins. do this twice daily once in the morning and once in the night. Dont give massage. Wait for 3 days. Inform me after that. the condition will improve. continue this for atleast a week.
