One of the most common causes of back pain is straining of the back muscles. All it takes is for one to bend or twist or turn suddenly or in an awkward position and then, before you know it, you have strained your back muscles. Chronic lumbar strains are common among people who work at a desk all week long–who are not accustomed to physical labor. After working at a desk all week, they then attempt some physical activity over the weekend and cause a strain or injury to the back. Many of these back muscle strains are minor in nature and can be treated with bed rest and over-the-counter medication. One way to prevent back strain is to adopt a regular exercise program–exercise during the week and get your muscles accustomed to regular workouts, rather than only having physical activity over the weekend. It will not only benefit your back, but will also be great for your cardiovascular system and your overall health!
