A few lifestyle modifications can do wonders for your aching back — article by Scott Keith

Think about the amount of time you spend each day at work, twirling the mouse and typing away on your computer keyboard. Then you go home, find the easy chair in the front room, and relax until the next day. All of this activity…yes, even lounging around in front of the TV set…can do a number on your back.

Back pain is a growing problem in our society, partly because we’re more sedentary, according to a board-certified physician who has practiced medicine for over 30 years. Dr. Dave David, in an interview with Men and Health: It’s a Guy Thing, says we’re less apt to get injuries or back strain if we’re active, because our muscles and ligaments are more limber.

Statistics are dramatic. David says a study he recently read shows 80 percent of Americans will experience back pain at some point in their lives. According to a survey, adds David, the percentage of people with lower back and neck pain (pain that could cause impairment) more than doubled between 1997 and the middle of this decade. Back pain can strike any age group and it’s the number one complaint David gets from his patients.

A good place to start protecting your back is at the office or home computer. Davis says a lot depends on how you sit in front of the screen. He says slouching (not sitting ergonomically) can affect your back. “The way you sit has a big impact, since your muscles in the back are used for stability.” You need to sit up against the back of the chair. According to David, there are other steps you can take to baby your back: Stand up, now and then, and stretch; move side to side at the hips and occasionally bend over to touch your toes. Even twisting side to side in your chair will help keep your muscles limber.
