Sprain is a sprained muscle or sprain
Strains are excessive stretching of the muscles and tendons.

Bone spur, the emergence of new bones that arise due to prolonged inflammation.
HNP, the protrusion of the spine causes sensitization to the nerves

Because it consists of several possibilities, you should first check with your doctor, so that the doctor will do a complete physical examination and if it is needed to diagnose the doctor can perform several investigations such as blood tests, X-ray, CT-Scan and MRI.

If you have to work or drive in a long sitting position, rest first and do a light stretch, carrying a load not only on one shoulder.
Sleeping position, if you often lie on your back, give a bump or pillow under your knees, if you often sleep beside a bolster or pillow between the folds of your legs. This position can reduce pressure on the back and minimize pain.
Keep moving actively to speed up healing, namely with light activities such as walking and doing daily activities that do not cause pain or burden your back.
Taking painkillers, can be paracetamol or ibuprofen. But be careful in some people, although rarely can cause allergic reactions. Don't take ibuprofen if you are suspicious or pregnant.
Cold compresses on the affected area can be ice cubes wrapped in towels.
Change lifestyle, such as diligent exercise, achieve ideal body weight, calm your mind and avoid excessive stress.
