How to reduce chances of lower back pain - Naveed Yaseen - 10-21-2009 05:13 AM
It’s not always possible to prevent low back pain. But the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons says there are things you can do to help keep it away:
Today’s Health Tips
* Get plenty of regular exercise, including aerobics and exercises to strengthen your back and abdominal muscles.
* When carrying heavy objects, lift with your legs, not your back. Always bend at the knees with a straight back; don’t bend over.
* If you’re overweight, lose those extra pounds to reduce stress on the lower back muscles.
* Don’t smoke. Smoking contributes to degeneration of the spine.
* Maintain good posture, especially while sitting, lifting objects and standing.
