Happy Thanksgiving from SpineUniverse
Holiday Back Pain Hot Spots
The Kitchen, Table, and Couch
 Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday—a time for eating every pumpkin-flavored confection known to humankind and reuniting with distant relatives (who still think of you as your 6-year-old self). The best part, though, is the coming together to give thanks for all the good things in our lives.
But Thanksgiving can quickly turn into a painful charade of hot ovens, screaming toddlers, and way too much couch time.
Most people spend Thanksgiving split among three places—the kitchen, the table, and the couch. So what does that have to do with your back? Well, everything actually. Learn how these hot spots are associated with back pain—and what you can do to prevent it.
