My back hurts

Have you ever had back pain from standing for long periods of time?

 

 

People who work in offices, customer service, or who stand for long periods of time often suffer from back pain.

 

 

In fact, standing for long periods of time puts a lot of strain on our lower back.

 

 

This time, we will explain the causes of back pain caused by standing for long periods of time and how to deal with it.

 

 

 

Causes of lower back pain

1. Muscle fatigue

Standing in the same position for a long time gradually tires the muscles in your lower back. When the muscles become fatigued and stiff, your entire lower back becomes stiff and prone to pain.

2. Muscle imbalances

When you stand for long periods of time, some muscles are overused while others are underused. When this muscle imbalance occurs, it puts more strain on your lower back, which can result in lower back pain.

3. Poor posture

When we stand for long periods of time, we often unconsciously lose our posture. Slouching or leaning to the left or right puts extra strain on the lumbar vertebrae, causing back pain.

4. Poor Circulation

Standing for long periods of time can cause poor blood flow to the lower body. This can lead to a lack of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, making you more susceptible to fatigue.

5. Ligament and soft tissue strain

Prolonged standing can put excessive strain on the ligaments and soft tissues in your lower back, causing inflammation and pain.

 

Measures for lower back pain

There are some simple measures you can take to prevent back pain caused by long periods of standing at work or in everyday life.

  1. Improve your posture : Stand tall and make sure your ears, shoulders and hips are in line.
  2. Stretch regularly : Incorporating some gentle stretching into your routine during long periods of standing can help relieve muscle tension.
  3. Choose the right shoes : If you work while standing, it is important to wear shoes with good cushioning that do not put strain on your feet.
  4. Take regular breaks : Avoid standing for long periods of time by sitting down or moving around regularly to refresh your muscles.
  5. Using chiropractic and massage : Treatment by a professional chiropractor is very effective for chronic lower back pain. By correcting distortions of the body and reducing the strain on muscles and joints, the lower back pain can be eliminated from the root.
