BACK PAIN PREVENTION
HAVE YOU MET YOUR 2019 INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE?
A little prevention goes a long way. If you want to avoid future back pain, you can make sure you’re being good to your back. Lift Properly. You pick things up constantly. Even if you’re lifting something light, make sure you’re first facing the object and standing as close as possible. Then squat while keeping your spine straight. Lift with your legmuscles,as thiswill reduce the pressure placed on your spine. Use Good Posture.
