As we all know that nowadays Back, neck, and other musculoskeletal
aches have been more common. Large no of People are experiencing a lot of
discomfort which is causing limitations in their daily life.
I have myself experienced such cases in my clinical practice as a
physiotherapist, and it is directly related to the current way of life that we
all are leading. Here we will be examining the causes of the rise in these
aches in this blog article and will get understanding into how to properly
treat and prevent them.
Sedentary Lifestyle
One of the biggest things which is giving rise in musculoskeletal
pains is our sedentary lifestyle. Many jobs which include prolonged periods of
sitting or little physical exercise, puts an excessive amount of strain on our
neck and back. Our posture is adversely affected by lack of activity, which
weakens our muscles and causes imbalances and pain. Therefore to reduce the
harmful impact of extended hours of sitting and to improve our overall health,
it is very important to incorporate regular exercises and physical activity
into our daily routines.
The widespread use of electronic devices such as smartphones and
tablets has highly affected our Posture. Our necks and backs are frequently
stressed from continuously hunching over the screens. Along with it the problem
is getting worse by the poor ergonomics of our desks and workstations. To avoid
putting undue pressure on our musculoskeletal system, it is essential to
maintain proper posture and make certain improvements to our workplace. Pain
and discomfort can be significantly decreased by doing regular posture checks
and corrections.
Stress and Tension
Many people today suffer
from higher levels of stress due to the rapid pace and the demands of modern
lifestyle. It can manifest physically. By practicing certain stress-reduction
strategies, such as meditation, relaxation techniques, and enjoyable
activities, can help reduce discomfort and reduce muscle tension.
Lack of Movement and Exercise
We should now focus on movement and exercise in maintaining a
healthy musculoskeletal system, Unhealthy lifestyle and Lack of exercise makes
muscles less flexible, weakens them, and increases pain and suffering. The
likelihood of having pain can be decreased by including activities that
strengthen and stabilizes the back, neck, and core muscles.
Obesity and Weight Gain
Nowadays as we know that our Musculoskeletal health has been
significantly impacted by the result of obesity and weight gain in modern
society. Overweight and obese person tends to have greater stress on their
joints especially the spine, which results in even more pain and discomfort.
The stress on our joints is reduced when we maintain a healthy weight through a
balanced diet and regular exercise.
There are several things of this modern lifestyle that are to be
blamed for the increase in back, neck, and other musculoskeletal pains and
aches. We might control and prevent such pains by making people aware and
taking care of these issues. A healthy musculoskeletal system can be achieved
by doing regular exercises, maintaining a healthy weight, managing your stress,
maintaining a good posture, including movements into daily activities, and exercising
regularly and consistently.
I highly advise you all to take care of your musculoskeletal
health and seek professional help from a Professional if you ever come across
severe or chronic pains.
Together, we all can reduce the impact
of these pains and enhance our overall wellbeing.
