In our clinic, we frequently treat patients seeking relief from back pain. An interesting observation we’ve noted is that many patients tend to look down as they sit and stand, potentially worsening their condition. This habit of gazing downward, especially when bending forward, puts unnecessary pressure on the lower back, making existing discomfort or even causing new pain.

We advise a simple change: instead of looking down, look up at least 45 degrees. This keeps the spine straight, reducing strain on the lower back and alleviating discomfort. Additionally, this adjustment helps strengthen the legs, providing better support for the lower body. So, by making this small change in posture, patients can experience significant and lasting relief from back pain.
