>> Back Pain- It’s the fifth most common reason for hospitalizations and third most common cause of surgery. And 56% of people with lower-back aches say symptoms disrupt their daily routines, including sleep and sex. Talk about a pain in the...back. >>

According to Prevention Magazine these bad habits could be causing your back pain:

• You’re Chained to Your Desk
• You Have a Long Commute
• You’ve Been Ditching the Gym
• You Don’t Do Yoga
• You’re Addicted to Crunches
• You’re Not the Healthiest Eater
• You Carry Your Entire Life in Your Purse
• Your Mattress Is from Another Decade
• Your Bike Isn't Adjusted Quite Right
• You Have a Thing for High Heels

I am guilty of many of these back-breaking habits, because I sometimes sit at my desk, working on my computer for hours.  I haven’t done yoga in a long time – I used to do Pilates three times a week.  I do crunches almost daily- but I try to rush through them. I can see I need to change some of my bad habits.

High heels don't affect my back, but sitting in the car for a long time does.  Also, if the box spring on our bed gets out of whack, that can hurt my back.

A good mattress, is really important for a healthy back.

 I am still recuperating from the last bout of pain from getting out of bed wrong.

Ouch - it is amazing how little it takes to injure ourselves.

Just a little turn, slip, misstep etc. 

But then there are lots of us that haven't learned to lift thing correctly and blow disks and pull muscles.  Just thinking about it hurts!

I was surprised when I found out, you can even injure your back sneezing the wrong way.
