Preventing Low Back Pain
Prevention is key when it comes to avoiding low back pain. Here are some helpful tips to minimize the risk:
Ergonomics at Work
Ensure your workstation is set up properly, with an ergonomic chair and adjustable desk, to maintain a neutral spine posture and reduce strain on the lower back.
Regular Exercise
Engaging in regular physical activity that focuses on core strength and flexibility can help support the spine and prevent low back pain.
Proper Lifting Techniques
When lifting heavy objects, remember to bend at the knees, keep the back straight, and use the leg muscles to lift, rather than relying on the back.
Weight Management
Maintaining a healthy weight reduces stress on the spine and decreases the likelihood of developing low back pain.
