Your hunchback and back pain is likely to be as a result of poor posture. Poor posture can affect your physical and emotional well-being, and can disrupt your sleep. It can even lead to breathing problems, joint pain, difficulty walking and a hunched back, as well as increasing your risk of falls with age.
Make a known effort to correct your posture while standing, walking, sitting, etc. The following means will help with imrovement of your posture:
- Walk Tall: keep your head upright with your eyes looking straight ahead, your shoulders should be straight and squared, and your weight should be balanced evenly on both feet.
- Sleep on your back: your spinal cord gets proper support from the bed and your shoulders line up perfectly with the body.
- Take regular breaks from sitting: after sitting for an hour, stand up and stretch, walk around, do a little exercise or just stand in place for at least 5 minutes.
- Wear shoes with low heels: As a general rule of thumb, keep your heels no higher than 2 inches. Whenever possible, go without shoes. This helps build the muscles in your feet, which are essential for good posture.
- Practice yoga
- Do not hunch over while using your computer or mobile.
- Strengthen your core: Strong muscles across your lower abdomen, lower and upper back, and shoulders help to maintain correct posture without fatigue.
- Avoid crossing legs while sitting
- Take up swimming
- Buy a lumbar support pillow
If the pain is persistent or worsens or you have tingling sensation over your legs you should visit the nearest orthopedician for further evaluation and treatment.
