What should you do if you have back pain?
Most back pain is due to excessive forward bending. If you have pain, avoid this position as much as possible. Initially it may seem like it is helping but overall it will probably make things worse. Lie flat on your stomach on the bed or floor. If you are unable to lie flat, initially put a pillow under your stomach and gradually try to remove it. This will keep your spine neutral and may alleviate your sharp pain. Once you can tolerate this position, lie with your elbows under your shoulders to get some extension in your spine. Hold here for 3-5 minutes. Do this several times a day. 1. Start walking!! The spine likes movement and walking may be one of your least painful activities. Be sure to keep an upright posture while walking. Avoid sitting, but if you must, use a small roll behind your back when you sit. Try to keep the spine in this position to prevent increased pain from sitting.
2. 3. 4.
