BACK pain leaves people in misery, so here are some tips on how to reduce risks and improve your quality of life.


Exercise your back regularly. Walking, swimming (especially back stroke) and using exercise bikes are all great ways to strengthen your back muscles.
Bend at your knees and your hips, not your back.
Never twist and bend at the same time.
Always lift and carry objects close to your body.
Try to carry loads in a rucksack and avoid sling bags.
Maintain good posture. Avoid slumping in your chair.
Use a chair with a backrest. Sit with your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest. Change how you sit every few minutes.
Quit smoking. It is thought that smoking reduces the blood supply to the discs between the vertebrae and this may lead to degeneration of these discs.
Lose any excess weight. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to measure your body-mass index to find out if you are a healthy weight for your height.
Choose a mattress suited to your height, weight, age and sleeping position.
