Tips to stay away from spine disorders in the WFH Era

 



The onset of the pandemic changed our lives a lot and made everyone sit in their homes. Professionals from various backgrounds continue to work from home in this pandemic area. Although it might be a relief to work according to your comfort from home, your spine might be at risk. If you continue to overlook the issues with your spine, you might look for an orthopedic doctor in Mohali soon. We are well aware of the fact that WFH has brought us much comfort with ample family time but is affecting our lifestyle. Through this blog, we spawn the awareness about hidden spine disorders.

 

What causes spine problems?

 

If you are working from home, you might sit for a long time in front of the screen. Long screen hours, in the wrong posture, may give rise to spine problems. This is mainly because the wrong posture exerts pressure and stress on your spine. Your spinal disc may rupture or bulge when you continue sitting in the wrong posture. Ultimately, the surrounding nerve will get affected to cause pain in your body. It's better to take the necessary precautions in time rather than look for an orthopedic specialist nearme later.

 

Effect of long sitting hours on the spine

 

●       Your hip flexor muscles may tighten

●       You may suffer from slouching that causes the spine ligaments to stretch beyond their healthy limits.

●       Pressure on the disc and disc bulging

●       Wear and tear of your spinal disc occurs in the wrong posture

●       You start facing problems regularly than occasionally

●       Sore, stiff, and painful spine

●       Restricted blood flow to the buttocks' muscles due to pressure

●       Poor posture syndrome due to forward bending

●       Stress on the spine discs and muscles

If these problems are visible, you need to visit an orthopedic hospital in Mohali and get the right treatment.

 

Tips to avoid problems

 

In a WFH setup, you must invest in a proper ergonomic workstation. This will help in staying away from spine-related problems and unnecessary back pain.

 

●       Adjust your armrest so that the angle of the wrist to the elbow is nearly 90 degrees.

●       Ensure that your lower back has support for you to sit straight.

●       Perform exercises that will help to keep your spine in good health.

●       The wrist must not bend while you are working on the system.

●       The screen and eye levels must be the same and at least 18 inches distance between the two.

 

Many people suffering not only from spine problems but also from knee-related problems due to long sitting hours in the wrong posture. If you don't wish to land in a situation for getting a knee joint replacement, you must take precautions.
