Low back pain is particularly common, and strict bed rest is the best way to relieve it. If resting in bed, it is recommended that the patient choose the recumbent position, where both the lumbar spine and the intervertebral discs are not subjected to vertical pressure, which can significantly reduce the pressure within the discs, and can be very useful for back pain caused by a herniated lumbar disc. Patients can also take a supine position, as well as a side-lying position, to rest as well as sleep, which can be very good for relieving lumbar pain. Do not sleep on a softer bed, but try to sleep on a hard bed. If sitting, try to suspend the waist and put small pillows behind the waist to reduce the force on the waist and avoid painful symptoms.
