Excessive use of AC can lead to back pain, says docs at RMLIMS
Dr Dipak Malviya, HoD of anaesthesia at the institute, said, “Another reason for lower back pain is excessive use of air conditioners. This results in poor exposure to sunlight, which reduces Vitamin-D in the body.”
LUCKNOW Sitting in one posture for several hours or riding a bike for a long distance regularly can lead to back pain, said experts during a medical education programme -- ‘chronic low back pain and minimally invasive pain and spine interventions’ -- organised by Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences (RMLIMS) on Sunday.
Dr Dipak Malviya, HoD of anaesthesia at the institute, said, “Another reason for lower back pain is excessive use of air conditioners. This results in poor exposure to sunlight, which reduces Vitamin-D in the body.” He said that timely diagnosis, treatment, and lifestyle changes can help a lot in providing relief from the pain. “It has been seen that women experience more pain than men as they usually work a for long time in kitchen or in other parts of the house,” Dr Malviya added.
The programme was also attended by Professor Soniya Nityanand, director of the institute; and Professor Nuzhat Hussain, dean of the institute; among other eminent doctors.
