If you have a desk job and are working then you have to sit at one place all day. In the beginning, you won’t experience any sort of pain, but as the days pass by you will start experiencing the pain in the lower back. The chiropractor usually suggests their patients start the ALWC chiropractic treatment because the lower back pain can lead to “Lower Cross Syndrome” if it is not treated properly at the right time. You might have heard about the “Upper Cross Syndrome”. This is a physical condition where you will notice that the individual who is having the upper cross syndrome will be usually stemming from poor posture with the head pushed forward, and it is normally seen with the desk workers and students. These days, most people are working from home, and there have been reports that several individuals are suffering from low back pain. This has happened because, as mentioned earlier the people who are working from home have to sit for the majority of the day in less-than-ideal positions. And this can lead to a lower cross syndrome. If you don’t have much knowledge about the lower cross syndrome then here is what you need to know:
How can you get the lower cross syndrome?
Now that you have got the basic idea about the lower cross syndrome, here is what you need to know. The major difference between the upper cross syndrome and the lower cross syndrome is that the upper cross syndrome is the result of neck and shoulder muscular imbalances, and the lower back syndrome is the result of muscle weakness and tightness between the backside and front of the side of the body. According to the chiropractor, the lower cross syndrome starts rising in the body due to overactivity, and hence there is a tightness of the hip flexors and lumbar spine extensors, and the core muscles don’t work so there is an under activity of them, and also the gluteal muscles.
And due to this, the individuals can experience the pain after a few days, also there is a possibility of joint dysfunction, and even discomfort, as per the chiropractor. If you are in the same position for a long time then the hip flexors are in a chronic, shortened position, which can lead to the tightening of them. Also, the lumber extensors have to work harder to keep us sitting upright. The resultant of all this is the lower cross syndrome and it can cause major damage to your muscles.
How to fix it?
You might be thinking about how can you fix the lower cross syndrome. If your pain is extreme, then it is ideally suggested that you should pay a visit to the chiropractor. Also, there are some things that you can do to keep the pain caused by lower cross syndrome under control such as you can stretch the hip flexors and paraspinal, and you can strengthen the core and glute muscles by stretching out and doing exercises.
The pointers mentioned above explain in detail what is a lower cross syndrome and how to fix it.
