Tips to Prevent Back Pain:

-Maintain a healthy diet and weight.

-Remain active—under the supervision of your doctor of chiropractic.

-Avoid prolonged inactivity or bed rest.

-Warm up or stretch before exercising or physical activities, such as gardening.

-Maintain proper posture.

-Wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes.

-Sleep on a mattress of medium firmness to minimize any curve in your spine.

-Lift with your knees, keep the object close to your body, and do not twist when lifting.

-Quit smoking. Smoking impairs blood flow, resulting in oxygen and nutrient deprivation to spinal tissues.

-Ensure that your computer workstation is ergonomically correct. http://ow.ly/i/uGe6y
