SIMPLE STEPS TO KEEP YOUR SPINE HALE AND HEALTHY CELEBRATE WORLD SPINE DAY

Your body is affected by the arrangement of your work area and by the tasks you perform on a daily basis. The layout of your workstation, the tools you use, etc., limit your body positions, or determine these positions according to the nature of your job. The lack of flexibility in choosing body positions, contributes to various health problems.

Dr.K.V.Shivanand Reddy, Consultant Neurosurgeon, Malla Reddy Narayana Multispecialty Hospitals, said, “People whose work involves standing for long hours suffer other problems as well, as standing, without the relief of walking, causes blood to pool in the legs and feet. This prolonged standing results in inflammation of the veins, which in time may progress to chronic and painful varicose veins. Excessive standing also causes the joints in the spine, hips, knees and feet to become temporarily immobilized or locked, and this can later lead to rheumatic diseases due to degenerative damage to the tendons and ligaments.”
