"Lower back pain is a leading cause of missed work and limited activity. Sedentary desk jobs and poor posture frequently trigger spinal disc strains."
Lumbar spasms, disc herniation (slip disc) compressing nerves, and sciatica are frequent causes. Muscle fatigue from prolonged sitting and poor lifting habits can also strain spinal structures.
Ensure your desk chair supports your lumbar arch, keep monitor screens at eye level, and take short standing breaks every 45 minutes to ease spinal loading.
Developing strength in deep core muscles (transversus abdominis and multifidus) acts as a natural stabilizer brace for the lower back, reducing daily stress on lumbar discs.
