A Good Back Support Or Visco-Elastic Mattress Helps Relieve Your Lower Back Pain

My boyfriend spends very long hours at his desk, which causes headaches and pain in his neck and eyes almost every day.

Will sitting up straight or changing his office chair help? He is currently using a soft neck pillow that doesn’t do much to support his neck. Could this also be contributing to the pain?

The headache and eye pain are probably due to a strain in the upper part of the neck. Get him to see a doctor or physiotherapist to diagnose his condition and try these recommendations:

* Sit with shoulders drooped and relaxed, elbows at right angles, wrist and hand at a comfortable position when using the computer, neck relatively upright, and visual field maintained horizontally.

* Choose a chair with a backrest that supports your entire back. Otherwise, use a good quality back support or lumbar support to help alleviate back pain.

A good back support which is made of molded, highly resilient foam, not only helps alleviate your lower back pain, but it also relieves tension and keep your spine in proper alignment.

* Invest in a good visco-elastic mattress to help prop up the natural curves and alignment of the spine.
