How do I prevent back pain at my job?
Question:
Answers:
Periodically throughout the day, lift each foot off the floor, rotate the ankles several times, and try to grab the foot from behind you and lift the heal to the buttocks. This stretches the quadriceps muscles in the thigh. Standing up on your tippie toes throughout the day will be beneficial as well. Also, gently twist the toros back and forth throughout the day, rotate the shoulders and hunch the back to stretch the spinal erector muscles along the spine.The real time to prevent back pain during work. is when you are off from work. You can do this by strengthening the back mucles, leg muscles and abdominals through resistance exercise, and gentle stretching. In addition, chiropractic really can help to reduce pain and swelling. I hope this helps you.

Just keep trying new shoes and new insoles until you find the right combonation. Proper shoes, lift from the knees..all the usual things.
I bet you sometimes wear high heels (not necessarily at work)

cement floors won't make any difference, thats like the woman who always walked on the road bcoz it was softer
wear low heels all the time
get a back brace thingamajig..my dad haz one and itz like a big belt that you strap like, around your mid section/covering the belly button---and if you want something for at home, get an "inversion table" we got one recently at wal mart--dunno if they still sell em' ther.you clench yer feet in and put yer arms up and it tips you bakwords, then you hang upside down and stuff. Its fun, and i guess helps to stretch out the bak muscles, feelz pretty good. Also get Dr. Schauls (sp?) squishy shoe thingys that you put in yer shoes, or get the sneaker with it built in, or or.get those little"cookies"(we called em that') that are like squishy wedges that go in the heel and stick those in there.I had some for a while, they work pretty good! (er else get a slipper/ shoe..haha!)

You have to support your back with soft cushion while sitting, do not attempt to carry heavy things by bending down, you have sit near the item and lift in between you legs or seek for help, long time standing also cause for back pain, the right posture when you sit in front of a computer, apart from all these stress and pressure can create back pain, you need rest.. Try Advil or another painkiller. If that doesn't work ask you doctor about prescribing a TENS Unit for you. It is about the size of a deck of cards and relieves pain for hours at a time by shooting electricity throw out your body. Sounds weird but in virtually case the pain will disappear for long periods of time.
If you can then wear sports shoes ( the walking kind ) with air soles. They really help but if you have to wear formal shoes than a good alternative is to usa Dr. Scholls gel pads. They are really great. Other than that you should try some stretching before and after work. Also check your posture because most of us have bad posture and it only magnifies our back pain.
Good shoes, Proper-lifting technique, use a back brace if necessary.
proper posture, proper footwear and proper lifting techniques are sure fire ways of never having back pain.
strength train your back, abs and core muscles when you are not busy at work :)
This site specializes in shoes for people that stand all day.My aunt was a nurse and used nothing else.
