The pain in the lower back is often a result of a strained back muscle, lifting a heavy object, twisting the wrong way, or genetics. The pain might vary from mild to intense, and it may also be accompanied by a tingling or burning sensation in one or both legs.
The pain might be temporarily soothed by conventional painkillers, but the alternative medicine offers effective ways to treat the pain for good.
