The most common treatment for low back pain is bedrest, the purpose of which is to minimize pain caused by movement. Randomized studies have shown that this form of treatment is of use only over the short term. Whenever possible, the patient should be mobilized again after only 2 days. Long-term immobilization has a number of disadvantages. Lumbar corsets may be considered a form of partial immobilization, and are usually not recommended for unspecific back pain. As initial treatment of acute back pain, short term bedrest with proper positioning of the sufferer, possibly in combination with drug treatment can be employed.
下背痛最常见的治疗方法是卧床休息，其目的是尽量减少因活动引起的疼痛。随机研究表明，这种治疗方式仅在短期内有用。只要有可能，患者应在仅2天后就再次活动起来。长期固定有许多缺点。腰托可被视为一种部分固定方式，通常不推荐用于非特异性背痛。作为急性背痛的初始治疗方法，可以采用短期卧床休息并让患者保持正确姿势，可能还需结合药物治疗。
