Therapy
Whether or how a lower back burning can be treated depends on the cause of the complaints. Since symptoms such as burning or pain in this area usually originate in the muscles and joints, active measures to improve the mobility and strength of the back are the most important components of the therapy. Swimming, Nordic walking or light weight training, for example as part of a back training course, are particularly suitable.
On the other hand, a relieving posture, long periods of sitting and the use of exclusively passive measures such as massages should be avoided. In addition to the active measures, heat applications such as red light or a visit to the sauna can provide relief. The above-mentioned treatment measures usually apply even if a herniated disc is the cause of the complaints. Only in very rare cases is the burning sensation in the lower back based on a cause that should be treated directly and specifically.
