Ergonomics means the way the work area is constructed and how we fit into it. In most cases people will sit on chairs that are not designed properly in turn putting a lot of stress on the back. In osteoporosis the bones get weak because of lack of calcium. The brittle bones will cause the back bone to go very weak and brittle.

If you have a sitting job then make sure that you get up and walk every half hour from your seat. Get an ergonomically designed chair. Get the lumbar support for the chair you sit on. Make sure that while driving you get lumbar support cushion. This will give you the correct posture and that will help you avoid the back pain.
