In such cases, the patient will be able to apply painkillers or ointments because he understands the cause of the pain syndrome.
However, back pain can be caused by disorders of other body systems. In such cases, the person cannot pinpoint the exact cause of the pain. And for these pains to stop, you need to know the exact diagnosis and treat the source of concern:

Spinal pain is treated according to the diagnosis. Treatment should be carried out only with the advice of a physician. If the back pain is caused by diseases of other systems, then the treatment is carried out on those organs, which results in back pain. Treatment is often carried out with massage, manual therapy, therapeutic exercises and medications (tablets). Various types of medications are aimed at blocking pain or relaxing muscles. The patient must have any means of pain relief in their medicine cabinet.

Acute back pain occurs in most cases with sudden movements. Treatment of this disease is carried out with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID tablets), glucocorticoid hormones, decongestants, B vitamins, chondroprotectors of synthetic and homeopathic origin.
The first method of treatment
At the present stage, the number of drugs has increased and doctors have a huge arsenal of drugs (injections, various drugs, etc. ). The back is treated with NSAIDs, analgesics, anesthetics. If necessary, the patient puts on a corset. During the relief of pain and reduction of muscle spasms, massage can be prescribed.
