Back pain
Upper Back Pain – Common in Office Work
Many people who work in front of a screen for long periods of time will experience pain in the upper back, between the shoulder blades, or in the neck. Poor ergonomics, long workdays without breaks, or incorrect sitting posture can contribute to stiffness and pain in these areas.
Lower Back Pain (Lumbago) – The Most Common Pain
The lower back is an area that is often affected by pain, and this is among the most common back problems. Lower back pain can occur from overuse, poor posture, or physical activity that involves heavy lifting. This can lead to stiffness and discomfort, and in some cases, the pain can become chronic.
Prolapsed Lower Back
Prolapse, also known as a herniated disc or herniated disc, occurs when one of the soft, jelly-like discs between the vertebrae in the spine bulges or ruptures. This can put pressure on nearby nerves, resulting in intense pain, often accompanied by numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs.
Back Pain Treatment
Treatment of lumbar disc prolapse can vary depending on the severity. In many cases, conservative treatments such as physiotherapy, pain medication, and exercises to strengthen the back muscles can provide significant relief. In more severe cases, surgery may be necessary to relieve pressure on the nerves and improve mobility.
