7 Ways to Prevent Back Pain
Exercise Regularly: Exercise everyday is very important.
Regular exercise should be done daily even for just 10
to 20 minutes but if you are feeling some pain, do not
force yourself. Some examples of exercises are jogging,
cycling, and walking, though you can choose the ones
that are appropriate for you and what you like. If you
can't exercise daily, at least 4 times per week.
Stretch before exercise: In every exercise or activity
that you do, warm up first by stretching your muscles
to avoid any injuries, this will get your body ready for
action.
Make sure that you're on solid footing. Slipping or twisting
while lifting can cause injury.
Body Mechanics: When you lift up something, even if it
is heavy, placing it near your body permits your back
to be straight. Also, every day actions such as using the
vacuum, sitting, or even getting out of your car requires
proper body mechanics. Keeping your back straight and
not bending in unnatural positions can prevent and unwanted
strain.
Sleep Correctly: Sleeping on your stomach places more
strain on your neck and back as it goes against the natural
curves of the spine. This can cause rigorous back and neck
pain. Sleeping on your side is the most favorable position,
however it is all right to sleep in your back less often.
Make use of pillows that can support your neck and back.
When you are on your side, use a good cervical support
pillow and place a pillow between your knees to prevent
any unwanted pressure to your hips.
By just losing a tiny amount of weight, it can give relief to
low back pain. So start exercising, even just a few times a
week, and it can help to relieve that low back pain.
Don't rush while lifting weights. Think about what you're
doing before starting to lift. Saving a minute or two is not
worth a everlasting, painful injury to the back.
