In addition to your Chiropractor’s regular care, there are plenty of things you can do yourself to prevent back pain –a problem that affects 90% of us at some time.
Lift properly –when lifting, spread your feet to shoulder width, use your legs and bend your knees (not your back). Once lifted, “hug” your load, keeping it close to the body.
