Sitting All Day Destroying Your Spine? A Pain Specialist's Warning for Kerala's IT Workers
By Dr. Firoz Khan N | Dr. Firoz Khan's Reliv Pain Clinic and Wellness Centre, Kollam
8 hours at a desk. Back stiffness by noon. Neck pain by evening. Sound familiar? For Kerala's growing IT workforce, prolonged sitting is silently destroying the spine — and most don't act until the damage is done.
What Happens to Your Spine: Sitting compresses spinal discs, tightens hip flexors, and strains the lower back and cervical region. Over time this leads to disc bulges, sciatica, and chronic neck pain.
Warning Signs to Never Ignore: Persistent lower back ache, radiating leg or arm pain, numbness, morning stiffness, and tech neck.
What Helps: Ergonomic corrections, targeted physiotherapy, posture retraining, and interventional pain procedures for advanced cases.
"Most spine problems I treat in Kollam are 100% preventable. Your chair is not your enemy — your habits are."
— Dr. Firoz Khan N
