Why office workers also have low back pain

Have you ever had low back pain? Is it true that most people have suffered from low back pain, and seem to remember that no discomfort has occurred. When they wake up, they realize that their waist is hard to move. Maybe you are a teacher, a white-collar worker in the company, or even a leader, but your annoying back pain will haunt you like a devil. Heavy manual workers often suffer from back pain due to repeated, repetitive overload and strain in the waist. Why do office workers also suffer from back pain? You know that when you stay at the desk and operate the computer for a long time in the office, your back muscles will be in a state of strength for a long time. As time goes by, low back pain will come to you.

Recently, in our research, we found that the main reason for the high incidence of low back pain in office workers is the poor posture of lumbar muscles for a long time. There are more than one hundred diseases that cause low back pain, and there are many reasons. However, some patients often have obvious symptoms, but no obvious changes have been found in imaging examination and neuroelectrophysiological examination. However, the tension and tenderness of the lumbosacral erector spinalis muscle can be seen in clinical physical examination, or only the distension and pain behind the buttocks and thighs can be seen. In many hospitals, it is impossible to find out the cause of the disease, and the patients are in great pain and helpless.

Long term bad posture will not only cause low back pain, but also lumbar compensatory scoliosis. Therefore, please pay attention to the combination of work and rest when working, and strengthen office gymnastics when necessary. Try to work for three quarters of an hour, rest for five minutes, and exercise your tense muscles and fixed body positions, which will help to change the stress on your muscles. Learn the correct posture, change your usual incorrect sitting, lying and holding posture, pay attention to your usual warmth, and often take a salt bath, bubble bath, etc. at home. If conditions permit, you can repair flowers and raise grass at home. Of course, the best way is to have a certain amount of outdoor activities. Swimming, tennis, table tennis, of course, also include outdoor camping, rock climbing, etc.

Young office workers, learn to protect your waist. There is still a long way to go. Take care!
