The daily activities
that we tend to indulge in have an immense impact on our body parts
and over all body structure. For instance, if you are ignorant of the
way you sit or stand, you can bring a lot of damage to your back. Bad
postures of sitting, standing or walking can march a never-ending
tale of back pain.
Therefore, the best back pain remedy is
to sit, stand and walk upright. This will help you avoid back pain
forever. So let's find out how to monitor your day to day activities.
Walking
The most important day-to-day activity
is walking. So, a care should be taken while you are out for the long
walks. The best advice is to wear shoes that have flat sole. Even if
you wish wearing heels, the length of the heel should not exceed an
inch. High heels tend to imbalance the body. This imbalance puts an
extra pressure on the spinal cord, which could result in back pain.
Sitting
A similar care should be followed while
you are sitting. Never sit in a single posture for extended
durations. If your job includes sitting for long time periods then
try to take short breaks in between. Also try to sit as straight as
you can. For extended periods of sitting use a chair that has a low
back support.
Sleeping
Another important activity in daily
routine is sleeping. It is the time when you recline your tensed
nerves and revive your tired senses. Therefore the mattress that you
choose to sleep upon, should be firm. Besides the posture that you
sleep in is also very important. Try to sleep sideways by bending
your knees slightly with a pillow under the head. This position
provides adequate support to your neck and thus helps you avoid back
pain.
Lifting objects
Whenever you are lifting anything there
are certain things that you should keep in mind. Try to bend your
knees while lifting an object from the ground. While doing this, also
keep your back straight. Following bad postures while lifting objects
is one of the main causes of back pain among people.
Pushing
objects
Also, while you are pushing any object,
always try to apply force on the object from its back. The reason
being that pushing the object from the back will generate a more
force on the object and not on your spinal cord.
A little care and attention paid to
these small day-to-day activities, and your back pain would just be a
history.
