6 Ways To Prevent Low Back Pain

1. Do not sit on your wallet. This twists the hips and causes pain over time.

2. Do not cross your legs for long periods of time. This can increase pressure in your low back, and lead to circulation disorders.

3. Do perform regular stretching for the spine. This will keep you mobile and prevent stiffness.

4. When driving, take a break about every 60 - 100 miles.

5. Do not lock your knees when exercising. This increases pressure to the low back.

6. Use your legs when lifting, and above all do not twist the spine.

* Consult your chiropractor on a regular basis to help maintain spinal health.
