You will likely experience lower back pain at some point in your life, whether due to the physical demands of your job, from athletic injuries like a slipped disk, or from chronic overuse that gives rise to arthritis. Injuries and regular wear-and-tear degrade the intervertebral disks, the fluid-filled, cartilaginous disks in your spine that absorb shock and impacts. But just because back pain grows more common with time doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do about it! There are practical, safe, and effective ways to maintain the health of your lower back.
