Last updated on: November 27, 2014 11:28 IST

Back Pain

There is an alarming rise in the number of people suffering from spinal ailments. Back pain is the most common amongst all the spinal problems. People of all age groups are suffering from back problems. Did you know- studies have shown that all the spinal problems are caused due to an improper posture, unhealthy diet and a sedentary lifestyle. Simply changing the way you do your daily chores will do the trick. Here are the 4 unsual things caused by poor posture – 

#1 Spondylitis / Chronic Backpain

Portable E Table

Super Comfortable Laptop Tables Under Rs 899

Most people use their laptop on a sofa or a bed at home without being aware of the later consequences. You are in a slouching position which could result in chronic back & neck pain. This soon becomes a habit which could cause spondylitis as it sprains your spine. Use a compact and lightweight laptop table while working on the laptop at home or when you are out of office. The screen should always be positioned at the eye level which will allow you to look straight and sit straight.

#2 Indigestion

Table Mate

Portable Dinner Tables Under Rs 850

Do you have meals seated on your sofa or bed with crossed legs? This position seems very comfortable but it hampers your digestive system in the long run. Crossing the legs is a bad habit as it affects your system and leads to constipation, indigestion etc. Enjoy your meal with your legs straight on a dinning table or a portable dinner table such as the table mate shown in the picture. It is advisable to have your meals on a table as it prevents unnecessary bending. You can adjust the height of this dinner table as per your convenience. You can simply fold these when not in use & save space.

#3 Osteoarthritis

Footwear

Women’s Shoes Under Rs 800

Women love to wear heels but little do they know that prolonged usage of heels could result in a variety of health problems like osteoarthritis and lower back pain. Wearing high heels affects the joints of your bones which gradually results in osteoarthritis. Instead of those trendy heels, women can switch to comfortable flats for daily use. During morning walks, women must wear a pair of lightweight sports shoes with firm grip.

#4 Severe Lower Back Pain

Mattress

Coirfit Foam Mattresses - Starting @ Rs 8499

Sleeping on a mattress that is either too hard or soft could cause back pain. Ensure that your mattress provides adequate support to your body as it prevents back pain. You can opt for a medium soft mattress which supports every inch of your body perfectly. There are specific mattresses specially designed for people with back problems like the Coirfit Health Mattress. It is also recommended by orthopaedic surgeons.
