Lower Back Support by Chiropractor Hobart

Symptoms and Prevention

Lower back pain can present in many ways. Some people experience localised discomfort in the lower back itself, while others notice the pain radiating into the hips, buttocks, or legs. Because the lower back supports so much of the body’s movement, even small issues can limit mobility and affect overall wellbeing.

Common symptoms include:

• Sharp, stabbing, or shooting pain
• Dull aches or stiffness
• Pain spreading into the hips, buttocks or legs
• Difficulty standing for long periods
• Reduced flexibility and mobility
  

While not all back pain can be avoided, there are simple strategies that significantly reduce the risk:

Prevention strategies include:

• Regular exercise to strengthen supporting muscles and improve flexibility
• Maintaining proper posture, especially when sitting or standing for long periods
• Keeping a healthy weight, which reduces strain on the spine
• Setting up an ergonomic workspace, including good back support and a screen at eye level
• Lifting safely, using your legs rather than your back
