Approximately 80% of adults experience back problems at some point in their lives. A common cause is poor sitting posture at work. In this article, we provide practical tips to reduce back pain.
What Causes Back Pain?
Back pain can have various causes. Overexertion from heavy physical work or intensive sports is a well-known cause. An old mattress or poor sitting posture at work can also lead to back issues.
There are two main types of back pain:
- Specific Back Complaints: These are complaints where the cause is known, such as a herniated disc.
- Non-specific Back Complaints: This type is the most common and has no clearly identifiable cause.
Back Problems Due to Sitting Posture at Work
Many professions require prolonged sitting, which often leads to an unnatural posture. Sitting still for long periods can tilt the pelvis and cause a hollow back, stressing the muscles, joints, and spine. Many people are unaware of their poor posture until the pain starts to manifest. Awareness is the first step. Do you want to prevent back problems or alleviate your pain? Then take a look at the tips below.
Tips to Prevent and Address Back Pain
- Move Daily
It’s challenging to get enough movement if you have an office job. But fortunately, every little bit helps. Stand up every hour and walk a little. Get your own coffee or tea and use the lunch break for some extra movement.
- Adjust Your Office Chair Properly
Have you ever fiddled with the knobs on your office chair? No? Then there’s a good chance it’s not adjusted to your body. Pay attention to seat height, seat depth, back height, lumbar support, and armrests.
- Set Your Computer Screen at Eye Level
If, in addition to back problems, you sometimes suffer from neck pain, it’s wise to pay attention to the height of your monitor. It should be at eye level. This way, you don’t have to look down, and your neck is less strained. You can use a laptop stand for this, for example.
Treatment Options for Persistent Back Problems
Physiotherapy
If back problems persist, physiotherapy can offer relief. The physiotherapist can provide valuable information, advice, and exercises focused on your posture and daily activities. Depending on your complaints and capabilities, you’ll receive exercises that you can do independently or under the guidance of the physiotherapist.
Nano CellCare Therapy
If painkillers or exercises have insufficient effect, Nano CellCare therapy may be an option. This therapy uses hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the body that functions as a lubricant and shock absorber for the joints. Hyaluronic acid is used in supplements and injections for the treatment of osteoarthritis pain and injuries. Nano CellCare is a non-invasive and pain-free way to absorb hyaluronic acid into the body. The innovative Nano CellCare technology transforms important substances like hyaluronic acid, Dead Sea salt, and vitamin C into nanoparticles. Through this treatment, the body can locally absorb the substances or transport them to areas that have priority.
