As reported in the Nursing Journal, the most common cause of low back pain is an injury to muscles in your back. It is very rare that back pain is caused by serious spinal problems such as infection or a tumor.<\/p>\n

You can strain or injure back muscles while lifting heavy, playing sports or even while getting out of a car. I have seen many get in the car by putting all the weight on the right leg. This puts great pressure or the joints and hips. The proper way is to just put your fanny first and then lift both the legs and twist and get in. This simple method alone can prevent a host of issues like torn meniscuses, right hip injury etc.<\/p>\n

Poor posture is another biggie. Make sure that your chin is facing the middle of the monitor of your computer screen. If using a laptop, get a laptop stand to get this in proper position. Many laptop users get their neck and shoulders frozen and feel shooting pain down their arms simulating a heart attack and end up in ER.<\/p>\n

Depression, anxiety, stress and tension can increase your risk for low back pain. Walking, meditation, talking to a friend, corpse pose in Yoga are some tools to combat stress.<\/p>\n

Your healthcare provider can examine you and review your health history and advise you to take it easy for a few days, avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting. And, tell you to take pain medicine such as aspirin or ibuprofen. Using a heat pad also helps.<\/p>\n

For a healthy back, your healthcare provider will teach you exercises that help strengthen the muscles that support your back. Very few people with low back pain have a serious problem that requires surgeries. As reported in the journal, if your healthcare provider believes your pain may be caused by nerve injury, tumor, infection, kidney stones, or a problem with your bones, you may have one or more tests in a hospital or radiology center for diagnosis.\"Back<\/a><\/p>\n
