Why Does Lower Back Strain Keep Coming Back?

A pulled lower back muscle or lumbar strain often improves initially, only to return weeks or months later. This usually happens because the root cause was never fully addressed.
Painkillers, rest, or generic stretches may reduce pain temporarily, but they don’t correct muscle imbalance, inflammation, or faulty movement patterns that prevent proper healing.
At Nivaan, we focus on identifying lower back strain causes, not just calming symptoms. This clarity allows us to design a treatment plan that provides real, lasting relief rather than repeated flare-ups.
What Is Non-Surgical Lower Back Strain Treatment?
A medical approach to healing lumbar strain without surgery
Non-surgical lower back strain treatment focuses on relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and restoring muscle and spinal function without surgery, hospitalisation, or prolonged downtime.
Whether you are dealing with an acute lower back strain or recurring lumbar pain, this approach supports healing rather than masking discomfort.
What non-surgical treatment for lumbar strain aims to do?
- Address the underlying muscle, joint, or nerve contributors to pain
- Reduce inflammation and muscle spasm
- Restore movement, strength, and spinal stability
- Prevent recurrence through guided rehabilitation
- Avoid surgery and long recovery periods

At Nivaan, treatment is delivered through a personalised, multidisciplinary plan led by interventional pain specialists, physiotherapists, pain counsellors, and care managers, focused on long-term functional recovery.

How Does Lower Back Strain Treatment Work?
A clear, step-by-step path to recovery
We follow a structured, evidence-based approach to eliminate guesswork and prevent recurrence.
STEP 1
Root Cause Identification
Beyond scans, we assess posture, movement patterns, muscle balance, and nerve function to understand exactly what caused your lower back strain.
STEP 2
Targeted Medical Intervention
Based on findings, we use precise, non-surgical treatments to reduce pain, inflammation, or nerve irritation—performed safely with image guidance where required.
STEP 3
Functional Restoration
Once pain is controlled, physiotherapists guide you through targeted strengthening and mobility programs, including customised lower back strain exercises, to rebuild resilience and prevent repeat injury.
