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
