What Causes Back Pain & How You Can Prevent It

Back pain and problems with posture have far-reaching and long-lasting effects on your overall quality of life. The ability to improve your back health, or prevent future issues, is essential. Stamina Products can provide you with the right equipment to keep your back, and your whole body, in the best shape it can be in. Below, we’ll discuss some of the main causes of back pain and how you can effectively prevent it. 

Common Causes of Neck, Back and Shoulder Pain

There are many potential causes for lower and upper back, shoulders, and neck pain. The most common causes of this kind of pain include: 

• Degenerative disk diseases
• Pinched nerves
• Herniated discs
• Whiplash from an accident 
• General strain 
• Improper techniques at the gym
• Using cheap, poorly designed workout equipment

No matter who you are or how healthy you might be, back pain is a risk to everyone, and it can be debilitating. Even if you find yourself in pretty good shape and you exercise often, you’re not immune. Things like bad technique and cheap equipment, over time, can contribute to torn muscles and ligaments, herniated discs, and even bad posture. Below, we’ll discuss some ways you can prevent back pain to live a more comfortable life. 

How to Prevent Neck, Back and Shoulder Pain

We all know how important it is to stay active and healthy, and this is a huge factor in preventing, and even relieving back pain. Exercises like wall sits, press-up back extensions, stretching, etc. can all help to prevent or relieve back pain. Workout equipment like Stamina’s Inline Back Stretch Bench can help to loosen areas like your back, knees, hips and more that get tight over time. To sum everything up, good technique and quality exercise equipment are essential to back pain prevention. These two things will improve the way you work out, meaning your back, shoulders, and neck will stay strong, supported, and healthy.
