Currently, back pain is a common medical condition for people who are not elderly. Is the use of an inadequate mattress a cause of back pain?
Back pain in young people is commonly due to conditions such as arthrosis, osteophytes or traumatism of the vertebral column. To prevent such medical conditions requires adequate diet with sufficient nutrients and a moderate work regime. In daily activities, attention should also be paid to correct protection of the vertebral column in basic postures. While standing and sitting, the vertebral column should be kept very straight and upright. An effort should be made to avoid deformed posture while sitting, standing bending toward a table, bending down too much, etc. While sleeping, a user can keep supine or side posture according to habit but has to ensure that the vertebral column is in a straight line, without any curvature. A mattress used for lying should be chosen according to requirements related to firmness, elasticity, etc.
