The Effects of a Sedentary Lifestyle on Back Pain

2024-09-14 // SuperPodium
A neurologist from "SberZdorovie" medical company explains how a sedentary lifestyle can lead to back pain.

A neurologist named Maxim Pankov from the medical company "SberZdorovie" has revealed that up to 90-95% of cases of back pain are caused by nonspecific factors. These factors include muscle strain from excessive physical exertion or prolonged static tension, often associated with a sedentary lifestyle. Pankov also mentioned that the remaining 5-10% of back pain cases are caused by specific factors related to certain conditions such as radiculitis, rheumatoid arthritis, tumors, and others.

Contrary to popular belief, Pankov debunked the notion that osteochondrosis is a cause of back pain. He emphasized that the degeneration process of the spine structures significantly intensifies with age but is not the direct cause of back pain.

The neurologist expressed doubts about the possibility of getting enough rest in just 30 minutes. According to him, the genetically determined sleep norm is seven to eight hours, and it remains unchanged throughout one's life.

The effects of a sedentary lifestyle on back pain are well-documented. Sitting for prolonged periods can lead to weakened muscles, poor posture, and increased strain on the spine. To prevent or alleviate back pain, it is important to incorporate regular physical activity, maintain good posture, and take breaks from sitting throughout the day.

Back pain is a prevalent and debilitating condition that affects many individuals worldwide. Understanding the role of a sedentary lifestyle in its development is crucial in promoting healthy habits and preventing future pain and discomfort.
