Office Syndrome: Chronic Pain from Lifestyle Habits
Office Syndrome: Chronic Pain from Lifestyle Habits
Dr. Thanis Tundamrongpong (Dr. M), a specialist in rehabilitation medicine, emphasizes a patient care philosophy focused on prevention first and long-term treatment outcomes, especially for pain caused by daily lifestyle behaviors.
Dr. M pays particular attention to conditions such as office syndrome and sports injuries. Common symptoms, especially among working-age adults, include neck, shoulder, and back pain, often caused by prolonged sitting and lack of muscle strengthening.
Prevention Through Exercise and Posture
Dr. M highlights that effective pain management should begin with prevention, as each patient has a unique lifestyle requiring personalized advice.
Key preventive strategies include:
๐ Muscle strengthening: Regular exercise improves overall muscle strength and even mental well-being, helping reduce pain in the long term.
๐ Slowing degeneration: Strong muscles help delay physical deterioration.
๐ Proper posture: Adjusting posture during work and daily activities is essential to prevent repeated injuries.
Integrated Treatment for Long-Term Results
For chronic pain (e.g., lower back pain), treatment involves a combination of pain-relief procedures and exercise therapy:
Pain-relief technologies:
๐ Shockwave therapy
๐ PMS (magnetic stimulation)
๐ High-power laser
๐ Traditional methods like dry needling
Therapeutic Exercise:
Tailored programs such as aerobic exercise, weight training, and stretching to both treat and prevent recurrence
Dr. M emphasizes that even if pain improves with treatment, without strengthening exercises and lifestyle changes, the results will not be sustainable.
Improving Quality of Life
As a rehabilitation physician, Dr. M believes the goal is not just to treat symptoms but to restore overall quality of life-physically and mentally. When patients improve, it positively impacts those around them as well.

What Happens If You Don’t Use Sunscreen? Risks of Melasma, Wrinkles, and Skin Damage
Many people think skipping sunscreen is harmless—especially when staying indoors or going out briefly. However, sunlight and UV radiation, particularly UVA, can penetrate glass and still affect your skin, even without direct sun exposure. This can stimulate pigment production and lead to melasma and dull skin over time.
