ABSTRACT
Occupational back pain is a significant musculoskeletal disorder that affects employees in different occupations, causing decreased productivity, functional disability, and rising healthcare expenses. Repeated sitting, repetitive motion, poor ergonomics, vibration exposure, and psychological stress are some of the occupational factors that contribute to its development. Conventional pharmacological management is only temporarily effective in relieving symptoms, but it is often linked to adverse effects, addiction, and inadequate functional recovery. Thus, non-pharmacological and holistic strategies are increasingly being advocated for long-term management
