Prevention

Prevention is very important given the tremendous number of people who suffer from this problem. Maintaining weight in a healthy range and keeping the back muscles strong and flexible are very important in preventing back problems. Good posture and correct technique when lifting heavy objects (lifting with legs keeping back straight) or carrying heavy objects (keep object close to body) are also beneficial.
