Prevention begins with head and help
Give your back a break!
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons warns that it’s not just industrial workers who face a risk of developing back pain, but also people who take care of an ill or injured person.
In fact, nurses rank second in back-pain injuries among all professions. To lower the risk:
- Plan a lift to minimize back strain.
- Keep whatever you’re lifting close to your body.
- Bend at the knees, not at the waist.
- Bend your pride – ask for help to lift something heavy.
- Nearly all adults suffer at least one back-pain episode during their lives. The academy recommends that you give your back a break by:
- Getting some exercise weekly.
- Walking, sitting and standing with a straight posture.
- Watching your weight and stopping smoking.
