Understanding and Addressing Neck & Back Pain at
Dr. Anil’s Physiotherapy Clinic
Neck and back pain are among the most common issues treated at Dr. Anil’s Physiotherapy Clinic. Whether your pain stems from stress at work, prolonged hours at a desk, or a sudden onset, it’s essential to take action. If you’re spending most of your workday seated, you might think there’s little you can do, but physiotherapy offers simple yet effective strategies to address the root causes of your discomfort.
What Are the Most Common Causes of Neck & Back Pain?
The most frequent causes of neck and back pain include:
- Prolonged Sitting: Spending too much time at a desk without taking breaks.
- Workplace Stress: A high-pressure environment can contribute to physical tension.
- Poor Ergonomics: Uncomfortable seating or improper workstation setup.
- Inactivity: A general lack of physical exercise or movement.
Effective Strategies for Alleviating Neck & Back Pain
If you’ve lost hope, our physiotherapists haven’t. Here are some strategies they recommend to improve your situation:
- Take Regular Breaks: Don’t sit for longer than 40 minutes at a stretch. Take 5-10 minute breaks to stand up and move around.
- Manage Stress: Explore new hobbies, engage in regular exercise, or talk to a trusted friend to help manage stress levels.
- Stay Active: Incorporate short walks into your daily routine. The human body is designed to move, and lack of activity can exacerbate pain.
- Optimize Your Workspace: Consult with a physiotherapist about ergonomic improvements for your workstation.
