The number of residents age 65 years or older will multiply threefold from current 300,000 to 900,000 in 2030. By then, one in every five residents will be a senior. Many older individuals experience chronic pain associated with the general wear and tear on bones, joints and muscles. ”Report on Aging Population” Submitted to Prime Minister on 3 Feb 2006, www.clinicmasterasia.com Presented By:JASKP

The study done by Dr Michael Koh and Mr Tarkeshwar Singh of the Republic Polytechnic. They found that Singapore’s students tend to take shorter, quicker steps to offset the typically heavy loads that they carry to school. According to the report the changes in gait will not reduce the problems these students will face with regards to their posture, or their joints and ligaments which can lead to back and shoulder pains. Another doctor, Dr Kevin Lim, an orthopaedic consultant at the KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Singapore, says that he treats up to five to ten children every week for such pains. The report says this is despite schools in Singapore now providing lockers for the students.

It was an important plant in the traditional Indian system of Ayurvedic medicine and now one of the most widely used herbs worldwide.

About 55 percent students studying in public schools suffer from backache, while 30 percent government school students fall prey to the problem, says a new study. • Poor diet, wrong posture while walking, standing, watching television, studying, bathing and lying on the bed also accentuate the problem, says the study by the Joint Care Club (JCC) on the students of ten schools up to class VIII here.

Too much time in front of TV screens, monitors linked to physical problemsTuesday, 15 June, 2010 5:04:39 PM by ANIwww.topnews.in/.../too-much-time-front-tv-screens-monitors-linked-physical -problems-27683 • Washington, June 15 (ANI): Teenagers who spend too much time in front of the idiot box and computer screens are prone to severe back aches and recurrent headaches, reports a German study. • He said, “A rising prevalence of physical complaints such as back pain, neck and shoulder pain, and headache has been reported for adolescent populations. Parallel to this, adolescents are spending an increasing amount of time on screen-based activities, such as TV, computer games, or other types of computer based entertainment”. • Torsheim and his colleagues also concluded that physical complaints are not related to the type of screen-based activity, but to the duration and ergonomic aspects of such activity. • “The consistent but relatively weak magnitude of associations is in line with the interpretation that screen time is a contributing factor, but not a primary causal factor, in headache and backache in the general population of Nordic school-aged teenagers,” Torsheim said • .

It may not simply be a problem localised to the spine but instead related to your walking posture or gait. • The spine at the low back region may appear normal under medical imaging such as MRIs but yet you experience pain. It could be from the continuous stress to your lower back from your walking posture. • Like sitting for too long or typing at the keyboard for too long in an incorrect position can cause Repetitve Stress Injuries (RSI) to your neck and wrist, incorrect muscle imbalances in the pelvic region, leg length descrepancies, improper foot pronation, knee mis-alignment can lead to chronic low back pain. • A range of studies puts the number of steps an average person takes each day from 3000 to over 5000 steps each day. That is over a million steps per year. It is not hard to imagine the amount of stress placed on your lower back. • With Walking Posture Analysis, it provides us with an insight into the stress factors that are affecting your lower back.
