Tips to prevent lower back pain
Avoid Prolonged Periods of Sustained Postures
Are you concerned about maintaining "correct posture?" There good news is generally speaking there is no "correct posture." The best postural advice we can give our patients is to NOT maintain the same posture for extended periods of time. If you try to maintain the same posture for an extended period of time, rather than alternating postures, it is very likely you will experience increased levels of lower back pain. This is one of the main tips for lower back pain our experienced Perth Chiropractors will offer.
Regular Exercise
Movement is the key to life right? Whilst many patients are looking for specific exercises to treat lower back pain, on the most part general exercise will suffice. We also have some bad news for the workoholics out there, work does count as exercise. Whilst exercise aims to decrease blood pressure, heart rate and stress, work does the opposite. So unfortunately you will need to find some time in your day for targeted Physical Activity, also known as exercise. If you would like to know more about what type of exercises is best for lower back pain, please consult with your Perth Chiropractor near you.
Stress Management Techniques
Have ever noticed how lower back pain always seems to strike when we have so many other things going on life? It's funny that isn't it. Well stress is actually underestimated as a contributing factor of lower back pain. Patient's can carry stress in many different ways. Many of which can affect our spinal health and contribute to spinal pain. Whilst our Perth Chiropractors understand that stress can never be totally eliminated, implementing stress management techniques are definitely advantageous. For some people this is exercise, others it is reading a book or even using breathing techniques. If you haven't found your best stress management techniques, our Perth Chiropractors are always full of ideas!
