A healthy life style means eating healthy food and doing exercises every day. If you do this and still suffer from back pain than you are doing something wrong. The wrong type of exercises can lead to low back pain.

Activities like swimming or bicycling are good for you as well as other exercises, but you need to do them correctly.

If you are living in Sydney you can make an appointment with our Chiropractor and learn how to perform certain exercises properly and how you can prevent back pain through exercise.

Stretching exercise are also good for you even though you cannot treat low back pain, you can prevent it. If you usually lift heavy objects it is recommended to wear a lumbar support belt, even though you cannot prevent back injury, you have less chances to injure if you are wearing these belts all the time when you are lifting something heavy.
