How do I alleviate my chronic lower back pain?
I'm a 20 year old who hurt my lower (left) back doing a low row at the gym a few weeks ago. While the pain is never severe, its been pretty persistent and frankly, quite pesky. What exercises/rehab can I do to alleviate the pain? Help from physiotherapists or medical professionals would be most appreciated

1. ice your back for 20 mins ((lay on your tummy while icing) and take some 2-3 advils (ibupophren) not to exceed 800 mg!Works for me every time. I have Osteo Arthritis... In other words, my L5 disk cushion has worn out.
My remedy sounds like it will take awhile but you'll surely appreciate it in the end!
2. go see a local chiropractor

6. Hi there,
I have been in that same pain you are experiencing and it is not fun. Those darn dead lifts, we know they're not good for our backs but we still do them.
Right now all I would recommend is ice for 20 min at a time every couple hours. Need to get the inflammation under control. Then get a hold of a good chiropractor in your area. Make sure this doctor is into health and fitness. I say that because sounds like you are and you want to make sure you guys are on the same page.
There are many things that could have went wrong during that lift or it could just be a flare up of an old injury that you never knew you had. See that happens to you young guys. So with a proper exam and x-rays the doctor should be able to figure that out.
