Sleep better
When you have back pain, sleeping can be hard. When you don’t get enough sleep, your back pain may feel worse.
A poor sleep position can also aggravate back pain. Try lying on your side.
Place a pillow between your knees to keep your spine in a neutral position and relieve strain on your back. If you need to sleep on your back, slide a pillow under your knees.
Be sure to sleep on a comfortably firm mattress.
Good posture
Slouching is bad for you. And poor posture can make back pain worse, especially if you sit for long periods.
Sit upright, with your shoulders relaxed and your body supported against the back of your chair. Try putting a pillow or a rolled towel between your lower back and your seat.
Keep your feet flat on the floor.
