7 Habits that Will Give You Lower Back Pain!
There are many reasons why people suffer from back pain. Below is a list of everyday habits that could be hurting your back.
- Sitting for too long:
- Standing is better than sitting. Sitting for long periods of time creates added pressure on your spine compared to standing.
- If your work requires you to sit for long periods of time, you owe it to yourself to try periodically stretch your lower back. This helps your spine to heal.
- Your car seat may be positioned wrong for your back:
- Your car may be causing you more damage to your body than your wallet.
- You can have your spine properly aligned if you position your seat close to 90 degree angle. This positioning will also help remind you to always maintain a posture when sitting somewhere else.
- Skipping Exercises:
- It may surprise you to know that exercising will actually help you relieve your back pain and strengthen your back as well.
- Try walking or stretching to relieve your back pain; yoga or aerobics may prevent pain and go a long way to improve your health.
- Overloading your Purse or Briefcase:
- Heavy loads like a purse or briefcase creates an imbalance on the shoulders causing the spine to curve abnormally.
- Make sure you carry only things you really need; leave the remaining at home.
- Sleeping on an Old Mattress:
- When you sleep on an old mattress your spine sags because your spine does not get the proper support.
- Replacing your mattress is recommended especially if you suffer from low back muscle pain.
- High Heels
- Women pay a heavy price when they wear high heels because the leg and back muscles must work harder to keep the body well balanced.
- You still can wear high heels and minimize the impact by adding a cushion for better support and do try to reduce the amount of time you wear heals.
- Watching too much T.V
- Watching TV has always been viewed as a way to relax after a long day at work; however, the wrong posture while watching can produce spine stiffness and weakness.
- Cut down on TV time and start making time to stretch your muscles, have some evening walks or simply workout. It’s never too late to begin an active lifestyle.
