The Common Causes That Lead to Back Pain!

posture
Being indulged in your work, people usually forget to sit properly. They are unknowingly slouching or in other cases their way of working is bringing their back in pressure. Posture is the most important thing that is required to be maintained at work.
repetitive
The repetitive motions at work such as typing can also cause chronic back pain, as sitting in one position and performing the same activity the back will come under stress and eventually make the work feel like a burden.
isolation
If at work you are involved in an individual activity like lifting some heavy object then it can also lead to chronic back pain. Make sure that if it’s necessary in completing that lifting task then you do it with the help of your co-worker.
