CAUSES OF BACK PAIN
Computer-related back pain is normally caused by three problems: uncomfortable chairs,
poor posture, and inactivity.
UNCOMFORTABLE
CHAIRS
Office chairs that don’t support your
body properly and have poor body
alignment can create pressure on
various areas of your spine. They can
contribute to pain in your back, neck,
shoulders, and even arms.
POOR POSTURE
Your spines neutral position is upright,
shoulder back, and a slight curvature at
the spine. Leaning too far forward,
bending your head too low, or dangling
your feet to high can all case spine
issues.
INACTIVITY
Sitting in any position for more than
twenty minutes contributes to back
pain by reducing the flexibility of your
tendons and ligaments. It's estimated
that 40 percent of people with back pain
have spent long hours at their computer
each day
