It is said that back pain affects about 80 percent of Americans. There are some simple fixes to avoiding back pain that you can start implementing today.
The right pillow or cushion can make a huge difference in your back pain. Use a back support pillow while seated at your desk or driving. Add a contoured pillow under your mattress for elevation. Simple fixes like these may keep your back from hurting.
Switching from a standard office chair to an ergonomic one can be all your back needs to be pain-free. You may also ease your back by using a footrest along with your ergonomic chair.
Regular massages are excellent for alleviating back pain. Stop that pain before it starts by having a weekly or bi-weekly massage conducted by a professional.
Don't have time or money for a professional massage? You can be your own masseuse with the right equipment. Manual massage tools, heated creams and a little bit of know-how can go a long way toward a healthier future.
