You should always stand and sit up straight which reduces pressure on your spine’s natural curves and minimizes muscle tension. Poor posture is always looking bad and also makes you feel bad.
Change your eating habits:
A good diet always gives you the proper nutrients that are needed for a healthy back. Vitamin D, phosphorus and calcium are keys to healthy bones which are helpful in preventing chronic lower back pain as well as osteoporosis.
Stop Smoking:
If you have been smoking for many months or years and now you are suffering from chronic lower back pain, you should leave it at the earliest. Smoking is responsible for increasing your sensitivity to pain, making more susceptible to chronic pain. Moreover, it’s also responsible for decreasing your spinal tissues and vertebrae. This speeds up bone degradation and slows the healing process for back injuries.
Modify your sleeping positions:
Certain sleeping positions may be causes for lower back pain. Back sleepers should place a pillow under the knees and a small rolled-up towel underneath the lower back to support it. Side sleepers should place a pillow between the knees. In this way, you should sleep so that there could be no any pressure on your spine that may be one of the main causes of chronic lower back pain.
Thus, if you follow the above mentioned methods, you can prevent yourself from chronic lower back pain.
