The backbone is the most important bone structure in human body. Its main functions are to house and protect the spinal cord, which is the main neural link between brain and other parts of the body. It also keeps the arms through shoulder girdle; keeps the legs through pelvic girdle; keeps the ribs that protect important organs; and keeps the skull in its place. It also provides a structural platform for attachment of tendons, tissues, ligaments, bones and muscles so as to make the body movement possible.
Postural imbalances are the main causes of backache. If the pelvic balance is maintained, backbone aligns itself naturally and there is no scope for any back related pain.
Posture tips for chronic lower back pain:
Start doing warmup exercises for at least 15 to 20 minutes before starting the actual exercises. When your body becomes warm, the muscle becomes flexible, as the muscle viscosity gets decreased. This is the ideal situation for starting regular exercises.
Avoid slouching whether you are standing or sitting. When you slouch, your pelvic balance is lost which in turn affects the vertebral positioning.
While working, whether in office or at home, see that the table is of a comfortable height. You should be able to sit straight and your feet should be firmly planted on the floor.
Always wear a comfortable low-heeled shoe. This is very important as high heels can alter the way you walk and this would put undue stress on your back, which in turn would lead to back related problems.
Sit in the chair straight, and keep the back supported by the backrest. Leave no gaps between your lower back and the chair backrest.
While sleeping try as far as practicable to sleep on your sides. A soft pillow between your knees will do a lot of good.
Never lift heavy objects.
Do not bend to remove anything from the floor. Go down on one knee, pick up, straighten, and resume your standing position.
