A member asked:

How can l prevent back and neck pains?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Back and neck pain : Back and neck pain is a symptom that can be related to a variety of conditions and activities. If these symptoms persist they should be properly evaluated by your doctor. A common cause for back and neck pain is poor posture/improper biomechanics and tension with daily activities. With that said it is important to have an evaluation by your doctor to determine if additional testing is needed.
