Warning Signs
When you begin to feel any sort of pain, it is important to not ignore it. No matter how small the pain, it must be given importance. If you’re in the middle of a task or activity and begin to feel pain, it is important to stop and listen to your body before restarting. Leaving a small pain untreated can lead to something more harmful in the long run.
Stand Straight
Standing for long periods of time creates a lot of strain on your lower back, upper back, spine, and even your feet. When standing, it is important to not slouch to maintain a healthy spine. It’s good practice to stand with one foot in front of the other. This way you’re able to transfer your weight from one foot to another and create a better balance. A Mississauga chiropractor can help relieve your back pain and provide an adjustment to help with your spine as well.
Shoes
Good shoes mean good alignment, which equates to helping you keep your body and spine in alignment. Shoes should be an investment and you should invest in good quality shoes.
Bend with Care
When you’re bending over to pick something up, or reaching up to get something, it is important to be very careful. When getting an object from up above, you should try and use a stepladder or stool to alleviate any additional stress to your neck, back, and arms. If the item is heavy, ask for help. When you’re picking up objects from the floor, it is important to bend your knees and keep your back straight.
