Hi there

Thanks for the query

It is very common in IT people because of posture problems. Avoid bending forward or lifting heavy objects. After sitting for half an hour, get up, walk around and do back stretching exercises when you can. Look at YouTube videos for back stretching exercises.

Take pain killer like Paracetamol or Ibuprofen for pain relief. Apply heat in the form of hot water bag to get good relief.

Physiotherapy Is very important. Go for TENS therapy which will help you.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
