What is the recommended duration of bed rest for back pain?

While bed rest and analgesics are commonly prescribed as treatment, opinions vary among physicians regarding the optimal length of rest. Studies suggest that a shorter duration—around three days—yields better outcomes compared to extended bed rest. Prolonged periods of inactivity can lead to muscle weakness, delayed recovery, and even chronic pain.
