Ayurveda for Low Back Pain
Four out of five adults experience significant low back pain (http://www.mensxp.com/health/live-
healthy/6660-exercises-to-strengthen-your-back.html) during their lifetime.
Low back pain often begins suddenly, and may follow an obvious strain or injury, but may seem to come on
‘out of the blue’, or gradually. The pain may travel to or be felt elsewhere. It often goes into the buttocks, but
may go further down the leg and even to the foot. The muscles of the back may go into painful spasm.
Causes of Low Back Pain
By Raghvendra Singh(http://www.mensxp.com/author/12-raghvendra-singh.html)
Practice under the supervision. Yoga postures like salabhasana, dhanurasana, bhujangasana, padahastasana,
sarvangasana etc. is beneficial according to the varying causes.
Two Common Health Problems of Office Workers
1. Tension build-ups
In air conditioned or closed indoors sufficient oxygen is not pumped into your bloodstream.In an office atmosphere many emotions are released and more often controlled. This control of emotion leads to emotional stress and this leads to tension buildup.Builds tension when persons are under deadline stress or have a feeling of job insecurity, then the anxiety stress leads to tension buildup.In the office jobs natural movements are restricted and movements, which the body parts are unused to, are forced to perform continuously.
Tension buildup resulting from the above has its effect without our knowledge on various parts of our body.
Tension build up results in muscles becoming tensed, sore and tender. The shoulder, neck and upper back are
the main tension collecting areas of tension for most people.
2. Repetitive strain injury (RSI)
Sometimes called occupational overuse syndrome, is a growing problem among office workers. Because the
office jobs involve small, repetitive movements all the day. RSI in the wrist, for example, often results from
holding the arm still and moving the mouse using only your wrist. It's much better to move your arm, and keep
the wrist relatively still. This can transfer strain to the upper arm and spine.
Some Solutions
Don’t think that there is a perfect working position, the human body is designed to move, not to sit still. So it's
important to make sure that you constantly use different parts of the body.
Breathing is very important too. Try to breathe from the abdomen not the chest. Breathe by allowing the
stomach to expand instead. With practice it feels natural and it has much wider health benefits as well.
It is simply not possible to use a keyboard for sixty hours a week without damaging your health, so try and find
ways of getting away from the computer anyway. Write something longhand - fax a handwritten note to
people from time to time instead of sending an e-mail.
Posture
Use a foot rest so that your legs are supported
Keep the back comfortably straight (http://www.mensxp.com/health/live-healthy/6012-exercise-without-
leaving-your-bed.html) - in particular try not to let the lower back sag or the head stay bent forward
Make sure your forearms are roughly horizontal so that the desk supports them
Use the whole body more - don't allow movements to become too focused
Stretch regularly
Equipment
Don't tolerate a small or blurry screen
Replace your mouse at the first sign of wear
Change the relative positions of keyboard and screen regularly. For example, look left in the morning and right
in the afternoon
Get a telephone headset if you're on the phone a lot. You'll be amazed how relaxing it is
Eye-to-screen distance: at least 25", preferably more.
Vertical location: viewing area of the monitor between 15�� and 50�� below horizontal eye level.
Monitor tilt: top of the monitor slightly farther from the eyes than the bottom of the monitor.
Lighting: ceiling suspended indirect lighting. Use blinds and shades to control outside light.
Screen colors: dark letters on a light background.

A year ago, my pains have disappeared thanks to this allnaturaltreatment that I found online, where anyone can make at home. At least that curedme completely.
