What to do if you suffer from lumbar muscle strain during breastfeeding?

For lumbar muscle strain, it is recommended to take adequate rest, change posture regularly, and avoid bending over to pick up objects. This is the fundamental way to alleviate symptoms and prevent recurrence. If you really need to bend over at work, you can use a waist belt for protection. However, you should remove the waist belt immediately when you rest to avoid secondary disuse muscle atrophy and further aggravation of lumbar instability. You should strengthen your waist muscle strength training on a regular basis. For the painful areas, appropriate physical therapy can be performed, using physical therapy devices such as magic lamps and ultrashort waves, or massage can be performed. No medication is required during breastfeeding.
