Prevention of cervical and lumbar diseases by sitting upright in office workers

Studies have shown that long-time, single fixed posture in office work is the main cause of lumbar spondylosis. Office workers sitting upright can prevent cervical and lumbar diseases. Office workers bow their heads for a long time, and the neck is in a relatively fixed and stiff state, which makes the neck muscles spasm and aggravate the cervical spine damage. This is the main reason for the occurrence of cervical spondylosis. Bending and hunchback can lead to postural fatigue of the waist and back, accelerate the disease of intervertebral disc and aggravate the pain.

Warning: in the office, the most effective way to prevent the occurrence of lumbar spine disease is to keep upright for more than half an hour.
