Household chores can be a pain in the sacroiliac. Unless you're careful, routine activities around the home— washing dishes, vacuuming, even talking on the phone— can strain your back, including the sacroiliac area near the tailbone, and result in debilitating discomfort.
But you can protect your back by knowing the right way to go about such activities, according to the American Chiropractic Association (ACA).
Consider lifting. It doesn't matter whether you're picking up your child or a heavy bucket of water, you need to do it the proper way to avoid injury.
How? Bend from the knees, not the waist. As you lift, hold the item as close to your body as possible. If you have to turn to place it, step in the direction of the turn. That way, you're not twisting your body and straining your spine.
The American Chiropractic Association suggest the following do's and don'ts for chores and relaxation:

A family operation! From the moment you walk in the door, to the second you leave you are treated and greeted as part of a family. I have been a patient of Bodnar Chiropractic since the doors opened 12+ years ago and I can honestly say that I have never felt more welcome and taken care of at any other doctor's office.
