5 Tips to Prevent Back Pain

By Virginia Laird

If you have ever suffered from back pain, you know how challenging it can be to eliminate it. Still, there are many who find it a battle to solve their issues with such pain. Chiropractors have offered a few tips to try when trying to prevent and manage back pain, including:

  • Make stretching part of your daily routine 
  • Exercise daily
  • Get enough rest
  • Skip the high heels
  • Check in with your chiropractor

Make Stretching Part of Your Daily Routine

There is research that indicates that stretching, as part of a daily routine, can help manage back pain. Chiropractors admit that stretching helps to eliminate tension, which can be the root cause of your pain. Many recommend that you stretch both in the morning and before bed to help prevent pain.

Exercise Daily

Another way to release tension is to exercise daily. Chiropractors admit that there are some workouts that can be too much for those who struggle with pain. A few workouts that are suggested include yoga, swimming, and walking. Consider making time to exercise daily.

Get Enough Rest

Chiropractors admit that sleep is a vital part of preventing back pain. When there is a lack of sleep, the body becomes more vulnerable to back pain, and at times, injury. It is said that you should strive to get at least six hours of sleep each night. Start now going to bed at a time that allows you to get enough sleep.

Skip the High Heels

High heels can be problematic for your back. Chiropractors admit that wearing extremely high heels can be enough to cause movement in the joints of the spine, which can lead to restriction. Chiropractors suggest that keeping your heels at or below two inches can be helpful in preventing and managing back pain. Check your shoes before you head out to work today. 

Check In with Your Chiropractor

The tips you should try that can help manage and prevent back pain include checking with your chiropractor. Chiropractors focus their care on the joints of the spine. Using small adjustments to your spine, your chiropractor can help restore function and release restrictions within the vertebrae. This is a great way to help keep back pain at bay.
