What are the restrictions in the lifestyle of people with back problems?
As a spine specialist, I would try to put minimum restriction on the lifestyle of any back pain patient especially if the person is young and active. If a person is suffering from a back problem the general precautions include avoid frequent bending (occasional bending is allowed), not to bend and lift (lifting should be done using the knees), not to lift very heady objects, not to sit continuously for a prolonged period, sit on a proper chair, avoid sitting down except for brief periods and avoid sleeping in the face down position.
