A Morning Routine To Avoid Lower Back Pain At Home

A Morning Routine To Avoid Lower Back Pain At Home It is worthy of note that the lower back is vulnerable in the morning after arising. Having been a chiropractor for over 35 years I suggested starting slowly the first hour of the day and letting the back warm up before engaging in rigorous activity. My experience has shown that patients who follow this idea are less likely to hurt their back. With this article, we will go into more detail with specific steps one can take in the morning to help the back, rather than worsen a back complaint. We can start protecting our back as soon as we awaken. When we get out of bed, we usually perform some version of a sit-up. Sit-ups in the morning increase the pressure on the disks of the back thus increasing the chance of injuring the back. A better way to get up is to perform a "side up." A side up is performed by turning onto one side or the other and swinging the legs over the side of the bed as we raise our self up with our arms. Nex
