Low back pain is more common in young people than in older adults
If you are sitting down for long hours, you have an increased risk of developing back aches which in turn cuts productivity at work.
Dr Abed Onn stated that low back pain is one of the three most common work-related ailments. Others are noise-induced loss of hearing and upper limb muscular disorder. He does not have enough information that is why he based his evaluation on cases he has handled in the course of his work.
Dr Onn explained that low back pain is more common in young people than in older adults.
Orthopaedic and spine surgeon Dr Siow Yew Siong stated that office workers suffer from mostly sprained and strained low backs as well as early degeneration of the spine due to the sedentary nature of office work.
Dr Siong made a conclusion:
"Sprains and strains are more common than actual spinal diseases. Poor sitting posture, poor office ergonomics, wrong lifting techniques and prolonged sitting can cause sprains and undue strain to your back."
