Move: Bed rest is not advised for acute back pain. Patients should do as much as they can and gradually increase activity as tolerated. It is advised to avoid prolonged periods of inactivity. Short term trial of NSAID is appropriate in otherwise healthy individuals. See physician if physical therapy may be helpful. May consider trial of gentle stretching, yoga, accupuncture, massage, spinal manipulation
