Avoid back pain by
performing posture checks several times throughout your day can be an easy way
to avoid unwanted strains. Is your head centred over your torso? Is your chest
slightly elevated? Are your shoulders down and relaxed? Is the curve in the
lower back being supported whilst sitting?
Non-Specific Lower
back pain symptoms often include:
An aching pain in
the lower back after activity, sudden movement or lifting a heavy object.
Aching pain in the lower back from prolonged sitting or static postures.
These lower back
pain symptoms include any combination of the following:
• Difficulty moving
that can be severe enough to prevent walking or standing
• Pain that does
not radiate down the leg or pain that also moves around to the hip or upper
thigh.
• Pain that tends
to be achy and dull
• Muscle spasms,
which can be severe
• Local soreness
upon often tender to touch
Possible causes are
a back muscle strain:
A back muscle
strain or ligament strain is one of the most common causes of acute lower back pain.
Lifting a heavy object, twisting, or a sudden movement can cause muscles or
ligaments stretch or develop small tears.
Your work station
may well be the cause of uncomfortable posture which can lead to back pain.
Prevent back-pain and eye strain by attending to your workstation.
