Some major causes of back pain include strains, structural problems of the spine like herniated discs, arthritis, and posture-related issues. Treatment options for back pain include over-the-counter pain medication, physical therapy, prescription medication, exercise, alternative therapies like chiropractic care and acupuncture, and lifestyle changes. Proper lifting technique, posture, mattress support, and regular exercise can help prevent back pain.
Gardening for your health
This document discusses the health benefits of gardening but also highlights potential health issues it can cause or aggravate if not done properly. It provides guidelines on proper form, tool usage, stretches, and pacing oneself to reduce risks of injuries like back strain, knee pain, arthritis flare-ups, and repetitive stress injuries. Recommendations include using ergonomic tools, taking breaks, stretching, and lifting with the legs rather than back to safely enjoy gardening's physical and mental wellness rewards.

According to the documents:
- Back injuries are very common, with over 1 million workers suffering back injuries each year in the US. They are also very costly.
- The spine is made up of vertebrae separated by discs. Repeated stress from bending and lifting can cause discs to deteriorate over time.
- Heavy lifting, twisting while lifting, reaching overhead, and maintaining awkward positions are some of the main causes of back injuries. Lifting with proper form can help reduce risks.
- Maintaining good posture and physical fitness as well as avoiding unnecessary bending and lifting can help prevent back strain and injuries.
Back safety l Ergonomic Design
Back injuries are very common, costly, and painful. The spine is made up of vertebrae separated by discs that act as cushions and allow movement. Heavy lifting, twisting, reaching, and poor posture can put stress on the back and cause injuries over time as discs deteriorate or vertebrae shift. Proper lifting techniques like keeping loads close, lifting with legs, and avoiding twisting can help prevent back strain or injury from occurring.

- 4. Back Injury Prevention 34% of injury claims have been back injuries 40% of claim costs have been paid to these injuries Leading Cause? Micro Trauma
- 5. Micro Trauma • Minor injuries to joints and muscles • May not effect daily performance • May go undetected The Straw That Broke The Camel’s Back
- 6. How Does This Affect You • Low job performance • Job dissatisfaction • Career longevity • Loss work time • Quality of Life Lowered Quality of Life
- 7. Example: Start in the best position Before you lift a load, think through your task. Decide where you'll place the load and how you'll get it there. If an object is too heavy, get some help. When you're lifting an object from the floor, don't lift from a standing position with your waist bent and your knees locked. Instead, plant your feet firmly on the ground, standing as close to the load as possible. Then kneel down, resting one knee on the ground.
- 8. Example: Keep your back straight Lift the object from between your legs and hold it close to your body. You can rest it on your knee or use momentum to assist you the rest of the way up.
- 9. Example: Use your legs Your leg muscles are some of the strongest muscles in your body. Use them to lift the load. Keep your back straight and tighten your abdominal muscles to support your spine.
- 10. Example: Squatting instead of kneeling You can follow the same procedure from a squatting position instead of a kneeling position, if that's more comfortable for you. Stand as close to the load as possible, positioning it between your knees as you squat down. Keep your back as upright as possible. It may help to tilt one edge of the box up to get a good hold on it.
- 11. Example: Let your legs do the work Pick the object up, from between your knees. Keep the load close to your body and then stand up, using your leg muscles. Keep your back as straight as possible and tighten your abdominal muscles as you rise from the floor.
- 12. Example: Avoid Twisting When you're standing and ready to move, hold the load close to your body to lessen the strain on your lower back. Avoid turning or twisting while holding the load. Turn by pivoting your feet, not your back. Avoid lifting heavy loads above your waist.
- 13. Review • Start in the best position • Keep your back straight • Use your legs • Squat instead of kneeling • Let your legs do the work • Avoid Twisting
