Strain On Gravity Causes Painful Backaches Says Surgeon
Canadian surgeon Dr. Frank Patterson told the 43rd Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons that a pot-bellied figure and pregnant women share a higher spinal strain due to center of gravity. He cited emotional factors as common triggers for backache and neurotic origins in 10 to 15 percent of cases. He advised gentle abdominal-strengthening exercises and moderation in activity, warning against strenuous exertion, noting back pain is common in the elderly due to weight, posture, and inactivity.
