Lifting your kids or your pets in the wrong way can cause stress to your back and spine, resulting in damage and aggravating the pain. There is always a risk when lifting heavy objects, and that risk is due to the chance you are lifting them in the wrong way.
When lifting something heavy, make sure that your feet are shoulder-width apart, and if you need to squat down, you should bend at the knees and hips only, and never with your back.
