What You Need to Know to Prevent Back Pain

By Genevieve Cunningham

Can you really prevent back pain? You probably know all too well just how common back pain is for most people. You've probably experienced it for yourself, but even if you haven't, you know someone who deals with it on a regular basis. No matter the cause of the back pain, most people have two goals: to get rid of it and to keep it from coming back. But how can we do this? If you need help getting rid of the back pain in your life, take a look at these three treatment and prevention options to add to your life.

You Have to Move

Movement is your friend. We live increasingly sedentary lives. We sit more and skip everyday movement more. There's no more walking to the store or chopping firewood or working in the garden for most people. But these natural movements can help keep the back strong and pain-free. Since we don't move naturally anymore, we have to make time for movement. Make time for walking and time for hitting the gym. Stretch every day and build strength in your muscles with calisthenics. This may not prevent all back pain in the future, but the healthier your back, the better chance you have of living without pain. 

You Have to Rest

Rest is just as important as movement. Without rest, the back -- and the rest of the body -- gets completely exhausted. And exhaustion often leads to pain. Do your best to get more rest every day. Do this through more sleep at night, a nap during the day, or through time in a sauna or hot tub. Move and then rest for a healthier back every day.

You Should Invest in Chiropractic Care

If you're suffering from any sort of back pain, you need to be seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis. Through gentle manipulation of the spine, chiropractors can remove pain and tension from the spine. With continued care, they may be able to prevent that pain from returning as well. Chiropractic care isn't a secret, but it's underused. Don't let another day pass without actively seeking care for your discomfort.
