2a1003 All of us tend to neglect our backs. Then one day, when we least expect it, we cry out, “Oh, my aching back! Why me?”

Low-back pain is one of the most common ailments. As a back owner, you will find this manual useful in the proper care of your low back. The Back Owner’s Manual is designed to start you thinking about your back and help answer questions you may have.

There is no simple answer to back pain. Your healthcare provider can guide you on the road to recovery. But a healthy, pain-free back is almost always up to you. Only you can improve your posture and learn ways to prevent back strain in your daily life. And only you (with your healthcare provider’s advice) can follow a daily exercise program to build strong supporting abdominal, leg, and back muscles. You’ll need to keep the muscles surrounding your spine strong and flexible. This will help your back’s three natural curves stay in alignment.
