Additional Considerations
Encourage patients to lift with the arms, legs, and abdomen … not with the small of the back. Patients should squat down so as to avoid bending at the waist. They should not sleep on the stomach but on the back or side with knees bent and the head supported. A firm mattress is ideal. Patients should sit with the knees a little higher than the hips and with the feet flat on the floor. Certain sports and occupational hazards may be the cause of back pain, but lack of exercise may also cause pain. Properly performed exercises to strengthen the core and postural muscles will often improve back pain. Consideration should also be given to chiropractic, physical therapy, or massage therapy consultation.
