Simple Ways To Live With Lower Back Pain
By admin | April 30, 2009
Keep your hands close to yourself. Don’t reach out to pick up objects or perform an activity, no matter how light the object or easy the activity. For example, don’t extend your arm fully to pick up a child’s toy, water a plant, or answer the phone. Sidle right up to objects; the closer your arms are to your sides, and not to what you’re reaching for, the better for your lower back pain.
If you can’t avoid reaching – to turn on a tap, for example – turn to one side. It’s easier to bend sideways than forwards.
Also, until your back has recovered, and you are experiencing full lower back pain relief, don’t reach above your head for objects. If no one can help you, use a stepladder. Reaching for high objects arches your back – and that can cause trouble.
