Experiencing Low Back Pain
Your lower back bears the bulk of your body's weight. That's why it's the most common location in the back in the back to hurt. Feeling stiffness, stabbing pains, tingling, or dull aches there? You're not alone. Lower back pain is the second most common reason for seeing a doctor. (The first is for colds and the flu.) Low back pain is common because so many actions can cause it.
Avoiding Risk Factors
Age, slouching, obesity, and a lack of exercise put you at risk for low back pain. Back pain becomes more common as we age, but we can steer clear of other risk factors.
- Sit with your back straight and shoulders back, like your mother told you.
- Eat a healthy diet with calcium and vitamin D. This promotes good spine and bone health.
- Work on your balance and strength with regular exercise.
Getting a Diagnosis
If you have tingling, numbness, or a lot of pain in your lower back, see your doctor. He or she will take your medical history, examine you, and possibly perform tests. These may include X-rays, imaging scans, or blood tests.
Your Doctor will help determine the best course of action to help you with your back pain.
