Several ways: For most, it begins with what the back symptoms mean and then usually some changes in lifestyle like exercise, weight control, smoking cessation and improved sleeping habits as well as modifying activities that can provoke a backache. Heat and/or ice can help for the pain as well as use of over the counter medication . A simple back support can also be of use.

Exciting to try: 80% of Americans suffer back pain sufficient to miss work in their lifetimes. You are young and asking the right question. Avoid sitting over one hour. Practice healthy eating (weight control), normal sleep hours for your needs, and stress management by healthy living. Get fresh air, 8 hours of general activity and one hour of more vigorous activity per day. Stretch daily. Be strong.
