To prevent lower back pain, maintain good posture, strengthen the muscles of the core and back, practice proper lifting techniques, and avoid sitting or standing for long periods without breaks. If you experience lower back pain, rest, apply ice or heat to the affected area, and consider seeing a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
