Back pain can be excruciating. It's a problem that many people have throughout their lifetimes, and it is also usually preventable. There are many reasons why one may be afflicted with back pain, but rather often the source of the problem is due to heavy lifting, which may strain a muscle of the back or possibly herniate a disc. In this article, we'll discuss proper lifting procedures so that you know exactly what to do in order to lift heavy objects safely without damaging your back.

When you're dealing with a heavy object, there are some steps that you can follow that can make the movement much more effective and less straining to the back. The first step in the process is to put one knee on the ground. Be sure that you are positioned as close to the object as possible, as this can help you to use your legs to lift the object as opposed to using your back muscles. With your knee on the floor, positioned as close as you can be to the object, you should grab the object with both hands and lift it upwards using the strength of your arms. After you've got the object a foot or so off the ground, allow it to weigh against the thigh of the leg that has the knee on the ground. Be sure that you have the object balanced correctly, then push off of your feet and stand up. In this manner, the lifting is accomplished mainly by the muscles of the legs, keeping the back safe. There is another similar method for lifting that also incorporates the use of the leg muscles as opposed to the back muscles.

For the other method, you're going to want to stand as close to the object as possible. Next, squat down by bending your knees. Once you are low enough to the ground to grasp the object from underneath it, you're going to want to slowly stand up from the squatting position. Both of these methods are of merit when it comes to lifting heavy objects. The muscles that are located within the leg are much less likely to be strained from lifting than the muscles of the back, so this method is generally recommended for all lifting purposes. Leg muscles are strong, long, and resistant to strain, while the muscles of the back are short and are likely to spasm under a heavy amount of stress.

Always remember to know your boundaries when it comes to lifting. If something is too heavy for you to carry it efficiently, you run great risks of damaging your back. If you are lifting and you experience back pain, it's important to speak to a doctor about the situation as soon as you can. Most of the time, back pain can be attributed to muscle strains which will heal by themselves over a period of a few weeks, but it's important to be sure that you haven't herniated a disc or caused other severe problems.
