Neck pain

Neck pain, although felt in the neck, can be caused by numerous other spinal problems. Neck pain may arise due to muscular tightness in both the neck and upper back, or pinching of the nerves emanating from the cervical vertebrae. Joint disruption in the neck creates pain, as does joint disruption in the upper back.

The head is supported by the lower neck and upper back, and it is these areas that commonly cause neck pain. The top three joints in the neck allow for most movement of your neck and head. The lower joints in the neck and those of the upper back create a supportive structure for your head to sit on. If this support system is affected adversely, then the muscles in the area will tighten, leading to neck pain.

Neck pain may also arise from many other physical and emotional health problems. (From Wikipedia)

Products that may reduce neck stress:

a. Proper design of working desk and chair that can keep neck in neutral posture.

b. Necessary neck support during sports

Low back disorder

1. Low back pain

Low back pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder affecting 80% of people at some point in their lives. It accounts for more sick leave and disability than any other medical condition. It can be either acute, subacute or chronic in duration. Most often, the symptoms of low back pain show significant improvement within a few weeks from onset with conservative measures (from wikipedia).

Products that may reduce the occurrence of low back disorder:

a. Ergonomic weight lifting belts (during heavy weight lifting):

b. Lumbar support (while driving or long time seating)

c. Ergonomic focused equipment (e.g. fully adjustable computer desks)

What is Ergonomics

Ergonomics is the science of designing the job, equipment and workplace to fit the worker. Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries, which can develop over time and can lead to long-term disability.
