Back Pain Can Be Prevented and Alleviated
AirPack Back Pack Takes the Load Off
It occurs when you rearrange heavy furniture, lift a packed suitcase or help Grandma out of her chair. You feel it when you bend over to tie your shoe, pull weeds or reach for a can of soup on the bottom shelf.
Back pain. Have two words ever represented so much misery? Call it a bad back, a sore back or “my aching back.” It all adds up to a complaint so common, many people feel they have to live with the discomfort.
Back pain is caused by a variety of causes, including poor posture, ligament sprains and muscle tension, strains and spasms. Back pain can also result from structural problems, such as bulging or ruptured disks that press on a nerve, arthritis, or scoliosis, the curvature of the spine.
A basic pain management technique is R.I.C.E., which stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation. Though back pain can’t be totally prevented, its occurrence can at least be reduced. Health care professionals recommend improving your posture, using correct lifting techniques, getting regular exercise and keeping body weight within proper limits.
Core makes many products that can help you make and maintain those recommended changes – and to help prevent back pain and injuries from occurring in the first place. Many of these products were designed with the assistance of chiropractors, the medical professionals whose specialty is synonymous with back pain treatment. Chiropractors commonly recommend several Core products, including pillows, lumbar cushions, back and orthopedic belts, and hot & cold packs.
Another preventative measure, especially for youths, is the use of AirPacks back packs. AirPacks feature an inflatable cushion that reduces back stress by up to 80%, lightening the effective load by 50%. The cushion acts as a fulcrum to redistribute weight from the shoulders to the hips. That helps improve posture, comfort and support, relieving stress on growing spines.
Core’s products to alleviate or prevent back pain are manufactured in the company’s own facilities to ensure quality control. The high-quality products, designed in concert with health professionals, are tested thoroughly to give you an effective product at an affordable price.
