Your physician evaluates clinically and if necessary advises some tests and tries to find out the cause of pain. Symptomatic treatment is started initially and when the root cause is identified, the cause is addressed accordingly. Regular physical exercises as advised by your physician depending upon the problem you have and good postural habit is crucial for the relief of backache in quite a major number of patients.
