Sitting on a stool often is another cause of back pain. I remember working in one computer center as an operator, I was not given a chair but a stool. That caused me frequent bouts of back pain, making me to be taking pain relievers often. My experience in that company made me to provide a good seat for my workers and even customers.

Another cause of back pain can be often bending down while handling home chores. It's advised to sit down instead of bending over or if you are doing laundry, place your washing basin on a table to enable you stand up while washing instead of bending for a long time.
