You were passing by a familiar street when a friend called out to you, asking for help.
One of the wheels of his car was stuck along the sidewalk of the street.
To be able to release the car, you have to give the car some nice hoisting to free the wheel.
You offer some help and started lifting the car by the rear.
With one large effort, you were able to do the task successfully.
However, after lifting, you suddenly felt the sharp pain that is shooting along your low back area.
This type of pain radiated to the other parts of your back, causing you to grimace and cry out in pain.
In addition to that, you heard and felt a popping sound the moment you lifted the read of the car.
This is one good example of the typical ways on how people acquire lower back pain.
Low back pain, when acquired, is usually caused by assuming an improper posture, especially when you are bound to perform a task that is stressful in nature.
Biomechanics is a manner of how you assume different types of postures for different activities.
Improper biomechanics of your entire back when you are lifting and carrying a heavy object can greatly cause this.
This is because poor biomechanics of your back does not place it in a position where the bones can move and the muscles can contract in an optimal manner.
In other words, you do not prepare them well for the great stress that will come upon doing the activity.
This makes these body structures ineffective in supporting each other and can cause an impairment in the overall support of your low back.
This, in turn, can lead to structural damage in these parts, eventually causing the low back pain.
To prevent lower back pain, you should promote proper biomechanics.
This is also known as your back hygiene.
To do this, you must bend by your knees and not by your trunk when picking up an object from the floor.
This will help reduce the stress on your back and helps it transfer some of the weight on your thigh muscles.
If you are to carry a heavy object in your arms, you should keep the object as close to your body as possible to further reduce the stress that is placed on your low back.
These are just some of the ways to prevent low back pain from happening to you.
