5 Ways to Avoid Back Pain
What’s better than correcting pain? Stopping it in the first place! Here’s how you can prevent back pain:
- Exercise more. Physical activity can actually help reduce inflammation in the body.
- Analyze your desk chair. A chair you spend a lot of time in should have low-back support and be angled at roughly 110 degrees.
- Ditch the skinny jeans. Clothing that is too tight can interfere with walking, sitting, and bending.
- Don’t sit on stuffed pockets. Carry your wallet in your pants? Remove it from your back pocket before sitting.
- Carry a briefcase or handbag with an adjustable strap and wear it over your shoulder for better weight distribution.
