Back pain can seem crippling. It becomes challenging to do most anything, even simple things we take for granted like walking, running, and climbing stairs. Spending 8 or 9 grueling hours at your job sounds like torture. And, if the pain gets really bad, it can affect every area of your daily life.

Crippling pain is not enjoyable. The good news is there are a variety of treatment options as well as many therapeutic techniques to strength your back to prevent future pain.

Kyle Reilly, a contributing editor for the “Reno Chiropractic” newsletter, suggests there are few ailments that regular exercise can’t help with. And back pain is no exception. However, if you are suffering, it’s important not to do exercises that are too strenuous, and could end up jolting or straining your back. So stick to exercises like walking, swimming, or maybe taking a low-impact aerobics class. All pain and especially back pain can often be minimized or completely eliminated just by regular, low stress exercise. Paying particular attention to strengthening the muscles around your core, especially your abdominals, can be exceptionally helpful.

The Reno Chiropractic Clinic also suggests losing a few pounds can also help ease your back pain. Extra pounds can put added stress and strain on your joints and muscles, including your back muscles. Drop the weight and you will often experience a significant reduction in pain and discomfort.

Did your parents ever say, “stomach in, chest out, shoulders straight?” Well, they had a point.Turns out they were right on target. Whether sitting or standing, improper posture can put a strain on your back. Pay attention to your posture a few times a day and you can quickly find yourself feeling a lot better.

One of the easiest ways to injure back is to lift heavy objects improperly. Lift with your legs is great advice. Let your legs do most of the heavy lifting. Bend at the knees and simply carry the object up in your arms. Don’t use your back to make the lift. And, if you have to lift something really heavy, don’t try to do it alone. Don’t let pride get in the way of asking for help. Plus, not only will asking for help save your back, it can also prevent accidents - like dropping and damaging the item that needs to be moved.

Simple lifestyle changes can make all the difference when it comes to avoiding, minimizing or completely eliminating back pain.
