Sitting on the Job

Maintaining spinal health is vital, especially for those who spend extended periods sitting at their jobs. Prolonged sitting can lead to poor posture, muscle imbalances, and increased pressure on the spine, contributing to discomfort and potential long-term issues. Seeing a chiropractor can be immensely beneficial in addressing these concerns. Chiropractors are experts in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal problems, particularly those resulting from sedentary work. Spinal adjustments and manual therapies can realign the spine, release tension, and promote optimal joint function. Chiropractors also offer valuable advice on ergonomics and posture, helping individuals create a workstation that reduces strain on the spine. Additionally, they may recommend targeted exercises and stretches to strengthen core muscles and improve flexibility, supporting overall spinal health. 

 The word “chiropractic” comes from the Greek words “cheir” (hands) and “praxis” (practice). As the name suggests, it is a hands-on therapy. Chiropractic manipulation is the application of pressure to a person’s spine or other parts of their body by a qualified chiropractic doctor, or chiropractor. This pressure allows a chiropractor to adjust and correct alignment. Chiropractic manipulation aims to reduce pain and improve mechanical function, or the way a person moves.
