Being a dentist, back trouble is an occupational hazard... comes with the territory. What I have found, and most physio's will confirm this, is that the stronger your core muscles are, the less back problems you will have. The core muscles are those that surround the spine and affect the working of most other muscle groups. This means that the stronger your stomach muscles are, the less chance you'll have back pain!
Whenever I start having back problems, chances are I've gotten slack with exercise...
