Great points to consider in this article. Improper lifting techniques are a big cause of back pain. Many people bend from the waist to pick up objects, leaving the low back susceptible to strains and possible disc problems.
The best technique when picking things up is to bend the knees as if you’re squatting or to bend on one knee, then using your legs to push the object and yourself up. This places the stress on your legs which are strong and less likely to get injured.

Hi,
i would like say million thanks to you for sharing this article. i often suffer in back pain and it so useful for me. my brother too has this back pain for long time, may be for about 20 years.
I would tend to agree with all the above but there should definitely be more emphasis on diet and eating healthy foods especially. One of the worst contributors to back pain is unhealthy food. If you can stay away from fast food and sodas, you should see an amazing turnaround in your back pain. I’m someone who is huge on exercise for getting rid of lower back pain. Now that I am taking care of my son, getting to the gym is a real challenge. I completely cut out all sodas including diet sodas. Now, I just drink water, coffee and tea. No more sweet drinks either. This may take some getting used to at first but I highly recommend it. I would suggest eating fish at least once per week, maybe twice depending on your level of pain. I would also eat lots of fruits and veggies. I am totally convinced now that diet alone is the most important thing for eliminating and managing back pain. Good luck to all!
