One of the most regular causes of back pain is muscle pull or muscle strain. This is a circumstance in which you put forth more pressure on your back muscles than you have to. In doing so, your back muscles which are elastic in nature strain to meet the extra demand and in the process tear or wear out, creating back pain. To shun any style of muscle pull or straining your back muscles do the following;

- Lift up objects correctly: The chief origin of a muscle pull in the back is when you raise cumbersome objects wrongly. If you must pick up any cumbersome object, do so by bending your knees and squatting before lifting up the object. Keep your back straight and the object close to your body. Don't twist your body when you are raising up the object.

- Push objects: When you want to move an object that are too powerful for you to raise up, don't pull at it because this puts a strain on your back. In its place, push the object into the area that you want it to be.

- Desk stretches: If you are working a nine to five job that requires you sitting behind the desk, then you should sit down in chairs that have straight backs or with low back support so that you stay away from putting any extra pressure on your back. Don't turn around using only your waist. If you must turn to retrieve something behind you, use your entire body.

- Shoes: Believe it or not, the style of shoes that you wear in due course determines if you will feel back pain or not. Don't make it a pattern to wear high heeled shoes between long distances. Wear low heels of one inch or lower.

- Exercise: Adopting the same exercise regimen can help to keep your back muscles firm and supple.
