If you’re looking to prevent back pain, or even just get rid of the pain you’re already experiencing, This might be a fascinating read for you.
Imagine this: You’ve just gotten out of bed and you go to hang your towel up. As you reach, a sharp, searing pain shoots through your back. You grit your teeth and carry on with your day, but the pain doesn’t let up-you can barely sit at your desk without feeling it.
The pain gets so bad that you have to hunch over all day. By the time you get home, you’re exhausted and in more pain than ever before.
So what causes it?
There are many reasons why you get back pain, but most of the time it’s from an injury.
This can be from sports or other physical activity, a car accident or even just playing with your kids or grandkids.
It can also be caused by poor posture, repetitive movements or even sleeping in an awkward position.
Sometimes it can be difficult to identify the root cause of your back pain or how to prevent it from even happening in the first place. That’s why it’s important to seek treatment if your back pain is long-lasting and becomes chronic.
These 5 Prevention Tips could be the key to seeing an end to your back pain woes and how to prevent them.
1. Exercise Regularly- Exercising regularly can help you to maintain a healthy weight and strengthen the muscles in your back and throughout your body.
2. Maintain Proper Posture- Having poor posture strains your back and neck muscles, which may lead to painful muscle spasms.
3. Lift Objects Properly- When lifting objects, be sure to lift with your knees rather than your back.
4. Quit Smoking- Smoking reduces blood flow to the lower spine, which can contribute to spinal disc degeneration.
5. Wear Comfortable, Low-Heeled Shoes.
