The New Year is the perfect time for fresh starts and a fresh start you should particularly include is one for your back. Here are some back care resolutions that are simple, but will help get you to lasting relief as well:

• Commit to Better Posture: Many people around the world struggle with poor posture and it’s one of the most common causes of back pain. You should make it a goal to keep your feet flat on the floor while you’re sitting and keep screens at an eye level to avoid hunching. 
• Be Smarter About Lifting: Improper lifting is also a big cause of back pain. You should make it a habit to bend with your knees and not your waist while keeping the item close to your body to avoid back pain when lifting heavy items. 
• Don’t Ignore Lingering Pain: Many people experience back pain throughout their life and tend to ignore the pain thinking that it will go away with time; however, sometimes it lasts longer than it should. Instead of ignoring the pain, you should seek professional guidance to prevent long-term issues.
