In contrast to standing, the back and spinal disks are more painful when you sit on a desk in the wrong posture for a long time. You should know that prolonged sitting with a poor posture can trigger pain. There are a few tips here for better support for your lower back while seated. Know what you can do to get temporary relief and visit a pain management doctor without delay.
Ways to Sit in a Good Position
-
Keep the knees bent at an angle of about 90 degrees and the feet on the ground level. Change your seat height as appropriate and reduce stress on your lower back. If required, change your hip’s position to about the same height or even slightly higher than your knees. If that works, you can also use a footrest.
-
Using lower back- The normal curve of your lumbar spine should be balanced by your chair. If the lumbar support for your chair is not sufficient, consider adding a laminated towel or other cushion between your back and your chair. Just think about sitting back in your chair so that your spine is protected by the roll.
-
Do not slush ahead- Sit at the desk directly above your eyes. Set the display height while operating on a device so that your eyes will naturally look forward to the top third of the screen.
-
Consider alternative office design- For example, a sitting desk can provide much-needed relief from chronic back pain during part of the day or a yoga ball (short distances, building up). For example, a sitting desk can provide much-needed relief from chronic back pain during part of the day, or a yoga ball (short distances, building up).
Your lower back still has to move even if you sit with a perfect posture. Try to get up and walk about as much as possible every 30 minutes.
What to Do to Release Pain?
-
Cardiovascular exercise with low impact, such as usual or rapid walking, allows blood to flow to the spine and strengthen the muscles. A sufficient blood flow provides the tissues in your lower back with healing nutrients and hydration.
-
Water therapy offers an improved range of movement due to the water station, particularly for leg lifting practices. The treatment is also ideal for those who have chronic back pain and believe exercise is too difficult to do without the soothing impact of water. Water also provides resistance through gentle friction, which helps strengthen and prepare the damaged muscle.
-
Running on the ball for 20-30 minutes or using the ball for bands and exercises that stimulate your core muscles.
