Reason behind most of the sick leaves is back and neck pain i.e. spine related issues. These problems mostly occur due to poor posture and inactivity, which is mostly because of our desk-bound job. Here are a few tips to prevent these spine-related issues while being at work,
Mindfully choose your chair
Easy chairs, chairs with stiff backs, bean bags, or sofas that are too soft can cause spine-related issues. Sitting on a chair cross legged for long hours must be avoided. Also avoid sitting on floor with your back unsupported, especially when your jeans or trousers are tight.
Sit with proper back support
Using chairs with fixed back support and an inclination between to 110 degrees is good, experts suggest. This ensures that pressure is equally distributed throughout the spine.
Be attentive to your diet
This is important. Nutritionists stress that keeping a check on your Vitamin D3, vitamin B12 and calcium levels to keep your bones and spines healthy.
Avoid stress on spine
Bending your knees while lifting some weight mitigates the stress on your spine. So, while lifting something bend your knees and get the object closer to your body.
Carry your bag the right way
Your back should not be too heavy and the straps should be adjusted to make sure that it does not sag down to your lower back. Also don’t carry your bag on only one side as it puts strain on one shoulder.
