What daily things can i do to help a lower back injury heal faster?

Rest heat OTC meda: Generally most just get better with activity restriction and rest but one can apply heat or cold depending what feels best and take over the counter meds like tylenol, (acetaminophen) Naproxen or Ibuprofen if no medical conditions that preclude their use or allergy problems. Guided exercise after a short period of rest is helpful as well.
