Скачать или смотреть Role of Occupation in Back Pain Diagnosis, Cause of Disc Bulge, Exercises For Low Back Pain Patients

Why we should ask for Patient's occupation while diagnosing Disc Bulge.

Occupation plays a significant role in both the development and diagnosis of back pain. Understanding a patient's job can help clinicians identify causes, assess risk factors, and develop appropriate treatment and prevention strategies.

Helps Identify Mechanical or Repetitive Strain Causes

Certain jobs are associated with higher risk due to repetitive movements, poor posture, or heavy lifting.

Manual laborers (e.g., construction workers, warehouse employees): prone to lumbar strain, disc herniation, and musculoskeletal injuries due to lifting, bending, and twisting.

Office workers: long periods of sitting with poor posture can lead to chronic low back pain, often related to muscle imbalance or degenerative disc disease.

Drivers: vibration, prolonged sitting, and limited movement can lead to disc problems or sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Healthcare workers: frequent patient handling increases risk of acute back injuries.

It also helps us to design particular exercise for specific job patient is doing
