Manage Your Weight, Manage Your Back Pain

Is your weight ideal for your height and age? Or, are you overweight?

For people with many types of back problems, exercise and, when needed, weight loss, can help ease existing back and lower back pain.

Does gaining a lot of weight really aggravate your back pain?

Having an unhealthy weight causes a lot problems and one of those is an increased risk for back pain. Overweight patients are more likely to experience problems in their lower back compare to those patients with a healthy weight level. This is more obvious for people with extra weight around their mid-section because the extra-weight pulls the pelvis forward, strains the low back and creates low back pain.

Experts recommend to avoid eating or having too much of unhealthy foods to prevent gaining weight. But, over eating  healthy foods could also be a problem because it also leads to weight gain. Anything that is too much is not good. The pounds not only add up on the scale, but on your back too, putting unnecessary pressure on your spine.

Lower back pain isn’t cool. So, if you are experiencing lower back pain, you may want to check your weight and see if it is adding up on the pressure on your spine. You may also want to check your diet and do some necessary adjustments. A balanced diet filled with fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean protein, and nutritious fats can help you lose weight and maintain a healthy body weight.
