Prevention of Back Pain While Sitting | உட்காரும் போது முதுகு வலியை எப்படி தவிர்ப்பது?
We spend a lot of time sitting. While we sit, the usual curvature of the spine gets straightened and the small joints and ligaments in the spine get stretched. This can result in chronic pain. Hence proper spine care is mandatory, especially for people who spend a lot of time sitting and working.
Tips for avoiding back pain
1. Change your position of sitting once every 30 mins or one hour.
2. If you travel often, get a lumbar support pillow that helps with correct sitting posture.

00:00Vanakkam. I am Dr. Kirti Vasan, Orthopedic Spine Surgeon, Kaveri Hospital, Chennai.
00:05We always think that we should stand upright and walk straight.
00:10This time around, they are concentrating on the spine.
00:14But a normal human being will sit more than when he is standing or lying down.
00:22You can call it a sitting job or a desk job.
00:27But most of the time, an average human spends more time sitting than standing.
00:33Recently, there has been a lot of research on what happens to the spine while sitting.
00:41When we look at standing, a curvature like this is maintained.
00:45A curvature in the neck, a curvature in the upper back and a curvature in the lumbar.
00:50This is the lumbar curvature that we are interested in.
00:53But when we stand, the curvature becomes straight.
00:57Depending on the posture you are sitting in.
00:59If you are slouching, this curvature becomes even more straight.
01:05Similarly, if you are sitting in a proper chair or on the floor, it looks like you are sitting for a long time.
01:12Even then, this curvature becomes straight.
01:14When it becomes straight like this, you can see small joints in the back.
01:18All of these will be stretched.
01:20The ligaments in the back will also be stretched.
01:23When it is stretched chronically, it will become loose.
01:27The joint will become bigger.
01:29This will lead to chronic pain.
01:32How can this be prevented?
01:35Every half an hour to 40 minutes, once you change your position,
01:39or if you have to travel for a long time in a car or a bus,
01:43you can use a lumbar support.
01:45You can get this support online or in a medical shop.
01:49You can use this support for the lower back to maintain the arch.
01:52You can use that.
01:53Or you can roll a medium sized towel and use this lower support to maintain the arch.
02:00It will be very comfortable.
02:01You can prevent chronic back pain by using this.
02:05Thank you.
