Back pain comes in many shapes and forms. Sometimes it sneaks up on you and is a result of exercise, sleeping in an odd position, an accident, or an unexpected fall. Back pain can also happen during a women’s menstrual cycle. Pinpointing the exact reason for your back pain and finding relief are very important. Buchanan Health Center - Integrated Medical Services in Leesburg, FL has the expertise necessary to help you with a treatment plan that will relieve your pain and prevent future injuries.

Preventing Back Pain

There are several things you can do to prevent back pain or alleviate the beginning symptoms of back pain.

Keep Moving

It may be uncomfortable, but keeping your body moving with light exercise like walking will help keep your muscles stretched out and your circulation flowing. Blood flow brings oxygen and other healing properties to the injured area.

Avoid Bed Rest

Sitting or lying down in hopes that your pain will get better is not a good idea. Being sedentary can slow recovery and actually increase pain levels.

Improve Your Posture

Keep your core muscles strong and your posture straight and erect. This will reduce pressure on your back and relieve pain. Standing tall and focusing on your alignment will also prevent future back problems.
