It is a relatively new problem, but one which has the potential to upset your daily lifestyle. Back pain often starts off as a minor ache, but progresses into a constant pain over time. Timely treatment at the hands of an expert orthopedic doctor is essential to control and cure the problem. But even more important is determining the cause of the pain; it could be your mattress.
How Your Mattress May Harm Your Back
Many of us buy mattresses for our beds when we buy a new home, or remodel an existing one. It is a one-time investment, since most of us use the same mattress for years.
- Therein lies the problem. A mattress not built to provide adequate cushioning and support begins to sag with use.
- It bears the brunt of your body weight, and over time, its internal structure begins to tighten and bind together, thus causing a sag in some places. Most mattresses sag under the shoulders, buttocks and ankles. Some may sag entirely down the middle.
- The sagging mattress forces your spinal alignment off kilter. This is when back pain begins.
Take a good look at the mattress you are using at the moment. Does it dip in the centre? Does the top surface feel softer to the touch, and has it lost its previous shape? It could be the reason for your backache. We suggest getting an orthopedic mattress after consulting your doctor.
What Is An Orthopedic Mattress?
Rising cases of back and shoulder pain in Dubai are prompting doctors to suggest lifestyle and bed linen changes – using an orthopedic mattress falls in the latter category.
- Simply put, it is a mattress designed to provide support to certain points of your back, shoulders and major joints in the lower body. It provides a firmer supporting surface targeting the specific problem areas of your back.
- With better cushioning and support, the spinal alignment comes back to normal. The mattress also firmly ‘props’ up the painful areas, thus helping to reduce inflammation inside the painful zones and speeding recovery.
