Preventing Back Pain Safely: 2 Tips

By Stepy Kamei

Back pain is one of the most common health issues affecting Americans of all ages and stages of life at any given time. Even though it's such a prevalent problem, it's important to know that there are ways in which you can safely and effectively prevent back pain from impacting the quality of your life. The sooner you start taking the steps needed to prevent back pain and stiffness, the less likely you'll experience these health issues later on in life. Keep on reading to learn more about the things you can do to keep your back strong and protected from aches, pains, and soreness, which can take a toll on your overall health down the line if left untreated.

Stay Active and Stretch

You may think that staying still, limiting movement as much as possible, and resting often is a helpful way to avoid tweaking your back or causing any sort of injury. In reality, healthcare professionals agree that staying active and moving regularly is actually one of the best things you can do to ensure your back muscles and joints stay protected from aches and pains in the future. After all, the body is designed to move, and frequent physical movement ensures that blood (and therefore oxygen) is circulating throughout the body to the vital organs.

Stuck at a desk for work? Be sure to take frequent breaks to at least stand up and stretch at your cubicle. Take a quick lap around the office as well once an hour, if you're able to. Not only will this improve your back and joint health, it can serve to keep you awake and focused as well.

As for your time outside work, see if you can squeeze in a 15-minute walk in the mornings before work or in the evenings after dinner. It's a relatively short time commitment for something that can do wonders to improve your health.

Visit a Chiropractor on a Regular Basis

In addition to keeping a physically active lifestyle at home and work, you'll want to build up a support system of healthcare professionals to keep your wellness goals in check. In addition to checking in with your primary caregiver, you should consider seeing a chiropractor at your local branch of The Joint Chiropractic clinics.
