Explanation

Lower back pain can become a long-term issue if not managed well. To help prevent this, it is important to stay active with regular exercise, which keeps your back strong and flexible. Good posture is also key, whether you are sitting, standing, or sleeping. Make sure to use chairs with good back support and avoid slouching.

Lifting Techniques:

  • When you need to lift something heavy, bend your knees and keep your back straight.
  • Hold the object close to your body.

Healthy Habits:

  • Maintain a healthy weight to reduce stress on your back.
  • Avoid smoking as it can affect blood flow to the spine.

When to Seek Help:

  • If pain persists, consult a healthcare professional for guidance.

By following these tips, you can help reduce the risk of lower back pain becoming a chronic problem.
