Lower back pain is a symptom of tight back muscles or stiffness from the lower ribs to the lower buttocks. There may be pain radiating down to the legs. Some people have pain to the point that they cannot live a normal life. It is common in working-age people and the elderly. The types of work that cause back pain include people who have to carry, lift heavy objects, work that is at risk of acute injury, such as lifting objects in an improper position, work that requires bending, looking up, or twisting the waist for a long period of time, people who work at desks or on the floor regularly, such as driving.
Back pain is caused by incorrect movement that puts pressure on the lower back muscles, causing the muscles to tense and cause pain, sitting or standing for long periods of time, including in people who are overweight. Lower back pain can be a warning sign of various diseases.
In addition, lower back pain may be a symptom of non-spinal diseases such as kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal diseases, mental conditions, UFABET, etc.
How to prevent lower back pain
Adjust your working posture to be correct and appropriate, and avoid staying in one position for a long time.
Standing posture: While standing, put your weight on both legs, alternating with one leg on a leg rest, or stand and rest your legs for a while. Do not wear very high heels when standing or walking for long periods of time. Do not stand in the same position for long periods of time. You should change your posture sometimes, such as bending over, arching your body, or twisting your torso.
Sitting posture: Sit in a chair that is high enough that both feet touch the floor. The chair should have a backrest that allows you to lean back fully. The backrest should be slightly curved to support the curve of the waist. If there isn’t one, add a small pillow to support your lower back. Avoid sitting with your buttocks halfway, crossing your legs, or hunching over. Don’t sit in the same position for more than 40-45 minutes. You should change your posture sometimes, such as bending over, arching your body, or twisting your torso.
Lifting posture: When lifting objects from the floor, slowly bend your knees, keep your back straight, and do not bend over. Use your knees to stand up, keeping the object as close to your body as possible. Do not twist or bend your body when lifting heavy objects, and avoid picking up or lifting objects that are too high above your head.
