Back pain
Why does back pain occur?
Back pain can arise from any part of the body that makes up the human back.
These are:
✔ Tightening of back muscles
✔ Trying to lift a heavy object improperly
✔ Sudden hyperactivity
✔ Disc slippage
✔ Joint infection
✔ Bone loss
Back pain is associated with our daily living conditions.
✔ Pushing or pulling heavy objects
✔ Carrying or lifting heavy objects
✔ Standing for many hours
✔ Sitting down for many hours
✔ Driving for several hours without a break
How to prevent back pain?
✔ Exercise. Doing sports called aerobics not only increases the capacity of our body but also reduces our weight and prevents back pain.
✔ Stop smoking. Research shows that people who smoke cigarettes are at a higher risk of back pain.
✔ Losing body weight.
People who are overweight are more prone to back pain.
✔ Maintaining an upright posture that supports our back and rests our arms when we sit.
✔ When we stand, let our body weight rest equally on both our feet and stand straight without slouching.
✔ Proper lifting of heavy objects. When we lift weights, it is appropriate to let the weight rest on our legs rather than on our hips and back. Pushing is preferable to pulling when moving objects.
✔ Shoes. The shoes we wear should be comfortable to avoid back pain.
✔ Supporting our back while driving. If we are driving for a long time, it is appropriate to get out of the car every now and then to stimulate the body and take a break.
✔ Bed mattress comfort. The bed mattress we sleep on should be straight.
