Back Owner's Maintenance Guide
  • Do not bend straight over, or turn or twist to pick up something–even if it is a light object.


  • Don't lift or carry anything heavier than you can manage with ease.


  • Don't slouch or bend forward while sitting or driving.


  • Sleep on your back or side on a mattress that supports your back's natural curves.


  • See your healthcare provider as soon as possible if you have persistent back pain.


  • Check with your healthcare provider if you have any questions.
