How To Prevent Everyday Back Pain Injuries The Right Way!

This is some of the most basic advice that you will ever get

, however it is so relevant you will wonder why you did not think of it yourself. It is a well documented fact that most of the back pain injuries that we sustain are not caused by a major injury but by lots of little injuries.

Think about it, how often have you been doing the housework or gardening or daily chores and injured yourself in the process?

Just getting out of bed some times can be a chore and if you feel stiff and sore,stop! If you take the time to gently stretch yourself out slowly it will be worth it in the end. Stretching will warm up your body and will prepare you for the day's activities. When you are taking a shower, let the warm water run down your back for a while, stretching out slowly in a warm shower can get the body mobile and help in preventing back pain injuries.

In the future, before you start your housework or gardening, stretching should become part of your routine; try a hamstring stretch with one foot on the top of some stairs, only 3-4 rungs up, it is a great way of getting limbered up for the vacuuming let alone two hour's hard labour in the garden!.

Taking a gentle walk around the house or property will also help you to warm up.

A lot of back pain injuries are caused from vacuuming, so try to hold your body quite still and concentrate on holding your core strong, move the arm and not the back. This will help in preventing the sciatic type injuries from occurring.

It is very important to give yourself regular breaks. While this might make the given chore a longer activity you will be glad that you have finished it without injury ! It is also critical that you finish off the activity with more gentle stretching while cooling down. This routine will definitely help with back pain injury prevention, avoid those minor injuries occurring in your daily routine and help yourself to remain pain free.

We spend a lot of time in our car and if you do not have a lumbar controlled driver's seat your posture can be poorly affected. Even if you do have all the controls in the seat and you have adjusted them to suit your height etc, check to see how you are looking behind the wheel. Are you sitting straight or are you sitting in a slumped position? To be seated in the best position for your spine to remain healthy you should buy yourself a lumbar roll. You can generally buy them at any medical supply shop and it may be the best investment you will make for a long time.

Every time you get behind the wheel, position the lumbar roll comfortably in the lumbar region of your back and you will find that your posture will increase significantly. By driving in the correct position you will alleviate the negative effect that driving has on your back, particularly after a long haul.

Follow the advice above and you will go a long way to reduce potential back pain injuries in your life!
