Orthopedics & rehab
Most of the lower back pain cases we see in the orthopedics clinic are linked to sitting posture and inactivity, not a sudden injury.
Set up your workstation
- Top of the screen at eye level
- Back fully supported, with lower back support
- Feet flat on the floor
- Stand and move for 5 minutes every hour
When do you need a doctor?
If the pain lasts more than two weeks, or spreads to the leg with numbness or weakness, an assessment in the orthopedics clinic with on-site imaging pinpoints the cause accurately, and a physiotherapy program is often all that's needed, without any surgical intervention.
