Health in Wartime Backache From Posture and Strain
Dr Thomas D Mastere explains backache during wartime arises from posture and muscle strain. Poor balance or seating can cause dull diffuse pain radiating to the lower back. Improvement comes from posture correction, supportive shoes, rest, heat, and targeted exercises to strengthen muscles. Lambago types worsen with rest and improve with moderate activity, heat, and massage. Aspirin and heat offer partial relief. lasting improvement follows after a week or ten days.
