3.Weight loss

There is a direct link between being overweight and having back pain. This is often why the first piece of advice given by medical professionals to anyone who is overweight and suffering from back pain is to lose weight. The back muscles, bones, and joints work hard to support the body as a person moves, sits, and stands. Being overweight can cause back pain due to increased pressure on the spine and strain of the back muscles. By beginning to build habits to combat chronic inflammation and promote weight loss, we can start to lower our chances of having back pain.
