By Michael Reilly

At least one time in everybody's lifetime they will have some sort of back pain. For some the pain will only be there for a day or two, but for others the back pain will last longer and maybe even for the rest of their lives. Prevention matters need to be taken and they will work better then any cure. By understanding the reasons of back pain it can help prevent any chance that you will be suffering from back pain.

Many back pain problems are caused from poor posture. Fortunately posture of many people has greatly increased from the use of computers. While you are at your desk be sure that you have proper posture and take many breaks to walk around, this increases circulation.

Another reason why so many people suffer from back pain is because they have poor lifting practices. When you need to lift on anything that is heavy you should always have help and you need to bend your knees. When you bend your knees it will prevent all of the weight you are lifting form putting pressure onto your back.

Our backs need to be exercised, it needs to be stretched. Having a back that is not active for a long period of time can get weak and therefore there will be more pressure put onto bone joints which can cause some very painful situations.

There is a great number of physiotherapists who claim that muscle imbalances are in fact the biggest cause of back pain. There has been back pain that has been classified as chronic or severe that has bee treated by relieving the imbalances of muscles that keep the spine supported and also the pelvis.

There is good new though. Back pain could be stopped way before it will become a big problem. Keep the stresses that you put on your back before you do anything. By preventing it will stop you from having a lifetime of back pain.
