HOW CAN YOU AVOID BACK PAIN?
7 ways to avoid back pain
1. Maintain good posture when sitting or standing.

3. Warm up before doing physical work or exercise.
4. Stay active and follow a regular pattern of exercise to keep your muscles and joints flexible.
5. When lifting, bend at your knees, hold the object close to your body and lift from your legs.

FINAL NOTE:
Headaches can be a pain in the neck:
Very often the pain you feel as a headache is actually referred pain from your neck. Referred pain is pain that develops in one part of the body but is felt in another. A common example of referred pain is the arm pain many people feel before or during a heart attack.
Chiropractic offers many benefits to adults, older adults and for kids too.
