Severe low back pain affects over 80% of us at least once during our lifetime. The best defense against this, as is the case with most health issues, is to avoid it in the first place. Avoid things that put excess stresses on the low back; things such as heavy lifting, sitting for hours at a time, repetitive bending and being overweight. Strengthening your abdominal and low back muscles will help protect your spine, too. Questions? Call Dr. Hartwig for a consultation today. 503-235-7130
