Back Pain Prevention Tips

Many of us suffer from back pain on a day-to-day basis. An estimated 60 to 90 percent of Americans experience at least one back injury during their lifetime. Of these people, half will experience recurring episodes of back pain. Most back problems develop over a span of years as a result of different factors - your exercise, how you sleep or sit and your diet. Here are a couple of helpful tips that may help prevent back pain:
  • Exercise to keep your back strong. Aerobic conditioning and strength training can stem off lower back pain.
  • Make an effort to sit and stand upright. Sitting or standing, you should put forth effort to keep good posture. To do this, try to ensure that your ears, shoulders and hips are aligned.
  • Protect your back while sleeping. If you sleep on your side, sleep with a pillow in between your knees. If you sleep on your back, try to put a pillow underneath your lower back. Ensure your mattress also has proper support.
  • Eat a healthy diet. Try to consume foods with vitamin D (found mostly in fish and soy products) and calcium, which helps to prevent osteoporosis.
