BACK INJURIES
Back injuries, especially to the lower back are a fact of life. Twisting or pulling your muscle or tendon can result in a strain. This can be caused by falling, bending or crouching repeatedly, lifting heavy objects, being overweight, and extreme physical exertion. Some symptoms of low back strains are similar to those of more severe conditions. These include pain and stiffness, muscle spasm difficulty standing up straight, pain that radiates down one or both legs, and pain that worsens with movement. Most minor back injuries get better by themselves within 6 weeks. Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet, maintain a healthy weight, exercising, wearing proper support and practicing safety measures to help prevent falls are some of the things you can do to prevent back injuries.
