Hi,Dear.Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC.

1.Always sleep on your side it gives rest to your spine.
2.Do light exercise such as stretching,and swimming.A 45 min walk is also a good alternative.
3.Do not do activities bending your back instead of that sit and do the work.
4.Use proper lifting posture not hurting your back.
5.Using a pillow below your back may help.
