Back Pain

At some point or another, most people will suffer from lower back pain, whether it be from age, an injury, or from an activity. There are many things you can do to relieve back pain, from stretches, medications, and heating pads. You can also change your habits to prevent future injuries. Things like exercising regularly, eating better, and avoiding bad habits like smoking can keep you from getting injured. Being active and working out help keep your body and muscles moving, making strains and tears less likely.

Good posture and sleep are important components of healthy lifestyle you can employ to avoid back pain. Poor posture at work can exacerbate pain and cause muscle strain.

If you find that there is no relief to your back pain, it may be time to see a pain specialist. An expert discuss lifestyle modifications and potential interventions.
