  Don't use heat.
• Lie on your back with knees and hips bent at a 90 degree angle.
• Use a pillow or rolled up towel behind your lower back when sitting.
• Avoid twisting, bending or lifting.
• Don't stay in bed for more than 2 days.

To prevent back pain:

• Wear low-heeled, comfortable shoes.
• Make sure your desk or workspace is at a comfortable height.
• Use a chair with good lower back support and use a footstool.
• Use a rolled up towel or pillow behind your lower back if you must drive a long distance.
• Try sleeping on your back with a pillow under your knees or on your side with your knees bent and a pillow between your knees.
