Help prevent back pain and protect your spine with these important steps
Back pain is the most common chronic pain issue in the United States. In fact, 60–80 percent of adults struggle with it every day. Back pain most often develops from repeated stresses on joints that support the spine. And while many conditions lead to it, too much sitting is a common culprit. It leads to muscle imbalances and a weak core.
“Some muscles become overactive, and the other sides of those joints become underactive,” says Prentiss Rhodes, a master instructor for the National Academy of Sports Medicine. This puts stress on muscles, connective tissue, and joints and can lead to back pain.
Improving mobility, stability, and strength are all important factors in having a healthy back.
