From poor posture to an accident or while lifting a heavy object, our patients came to us looking for pain relief. But we are also aware that many people do not know that they can avoid back injuries if they are more careful.
According to statistical data collected by Georgetown University, back pain is one of the most frequent complaints among Americans. And 16 million people (8% of the adult US population) suffer from chronic back pain.
If you want to avoid back injuries, always bend your knees and lift up the heavy item while keeping your back straight.
And always start your workout routines with a series of stretching exercises.
