Title: These Daily Habits Affect Back Pain
Author: Peter Conati
Article:
Every action you take in your daily and every day life has an
effect on your back. If you notice that any action has a
tendency to increase your back pain then you would naturally do
it either less often or learn a better way of doing it. If you
are fortunate enough not to suffer from back pain than you would
want to keep it that way. In either case, you should learn how
to sit, walk, lift, play or sleep properly to avoid back pain
now or in future.
As for as lifting goes, there are some really easy rules to
remember. Always bend your knees and from a squatting position
lift the item. Make sure that your back is straight as possible
and the item you are lifting is held as close to your body as
possible. Lifting is one of the most frequently reported causes
of back pain, and still the most ignored. If you are trying to
move some thing that is heavy then always push it from behind
the object so that both you and the movement of the object are
in the same direction. Never pull if from the front.
Wear flat shoes if you can. If you must wear heels then try the
heel not to exceed one inch. High heels cause imbalance of the
body and cause strain in the back, which leads to back pain.
Never sit in the position for extended periods. If your job
requires you to sit in front of a computer screen than take
regular breaks to stretch. The same rule goes when driving over
long or extended periods. Remember, you do not have to do
strenuous exercises to stay fit. Light but regular exercise is
effective and can keep pain away a well.
Most people do not give much attention to how they sit, stand or
even sleep. This can often be a cause of back pain. Always sleep
on a firm mattress. If you are not in a position to replace the
mattress than put a board under the mattress, which will make it
firm. Never sleep on your stomach. If there is a reason for that
then place a pillow under your hips. Experts recommend sleeping
sideways with your knees bent slightly. A pillow under your head
provides neck support.
If you have to sit for extended periods of time, get a chair
with lower back support. You should at least get a chair that
will keep your back straight. If you need to turn towards some
one (for example when some one is trying to get your attention)
then try to turn the whole body towards the person rather than
just turning the head. When driving long distances, you have to
sit upright all this time. In addition to taking regular breaks
for stretching, put a pillow or a towel behind your back for
extra support. This will avoid back strain. Follow these simple
rules and you will avoid back pain in the long run.
