What You Can Do About Back Pain

Low Back pain is a $600 billion dollar industry in this country. That is outrageous! Musculoskeletal pain is unfortunately very mismanaged. Why make simple problems complex?

With all mechanical pain, there’s a ‘what’ and a ‘why’ — what the problem is and why it’s occurring in the first place. To achieve resolution, it’s crucial to not only identify and correct the problem at hand but address the behaviors which lead to the issue!

Here are some self-help tips:

• Keep moving!

• Avoid sitting for longer than 30-minutes at a time.

• Sit with upright posture with lumbar support.

• Take micro-breaks: stretch, take a stroll, grab a snack, move around.

• Take mental notes of what you are doing when your pain feels better or worse to identify any positional patterns.
