Heavy workers (hilti and drill users, exposed to vibration)

Tips for those with low back pain:
They should rest for a minimum of two days and a maximum of one week.
Medications to be taken in consultation with the doctor during this period provide some relief from the pain and make your life a bit more comfortable.
In cases where the drugs are insufficient, the doctor's injecting you into the sensitive points for your low back pain is also among the treatment options.
In the early stages of low back pain, corsets and elastic bands can also be used to relieve pain and support the waist area. However, these supportive materials should be used for a short time because in long-term use, it causes atrophy (muscle shrinkage and muscle weakness).
Another option is the use of physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities. Methods such as hot/cold massage, use of stimulation devices, traction, ultrasound, thermal regulation are additional measures to relieve low back pain.
Despite all this, if you have suffered from low back pain with increasing complaints such as loss of strength in the legs, pain that does not go away despite interventions, urinary and fecal incontinence, as there is no reduction in pain, then there is a situation that you cannot avoid: surgery. It should not be forgotten that surgery is a last resort.
In fact, one of the most effective and most important ways to ensure that all these are not needed is to exercise.
The incidence of low back pain is very low in those who have a strong abdomen and developed lower back muscles.
Back pain and discomfort are inevitable for those whose abdominal muscles are weakened, those who do not do these exercises enough, those who have recently gained weight, pregnant women, and mothers who have given birth.
