How to Prevent Back Pain From Sitting

Whether you’re going back to school to further your education or already doing what you love for a living, spending a lot of time sitting can lead to back pain. Fortunately, there are ways to prevent back pain from sitting so you can go on about your business pain-free, including several treatment options available at Healthy Life Chiropractic. 

Tips to Prevent Back Pain from Sitting 

These five tips can help you prevent back pain from sitting at a desk. 

1. Sit up straight! Maintaining good posture is essential for maintaining good spinal health. Make sure your back is well-supported by your chair, and keep your feet flat on the floor with your knees at a 90-degree angle.

2. Take regular breaks to stretch and move around. Set a timer to remind yourself to stand up, walk around, or do some simple stretches every 30-60 minutes.

3. Adjust your workspace ergonomically. Ensure that your computer screen is at eye level, and your keyboard and mouse are within easy reach to avoid straining your arms and shoulders.

4. Get the right equipment. Invest in a supportive chair with proper lumbar support to help maintain the natural curve of your lower back. Failing that, you could also bring a lumbar support pillow to class or the office.

5. Take advantage of your free time. Stay active outside of work or school hours through regular exercise like walking, yoga, or swimming to strengthen muscles that support your spine.

Try Chiropractic Treatment for Back Pain

Chiropractic care offers a holistic approach to preventing and relieving back pain caused by prolonged sitting. By focusing on aligning the spine and improving overall body function, your Newnan chiropractor can address the root cause of discomfort. This can help ensure your pain disappears and stays gone.

Regular chiropractic visits can provide immediate relief from back pain caused by sitting, but they can also help you avoid pain in the future. Repeat treatment gets you to a stage where you’re maintaining optimal wellness, which means a lower likelihood of back pain from sitting. 

Choosing chiropractic care as part of your wellness routine can lead to improved spinal health, increased mobility, and enhanced overall well-being. What’s more, it works well with other back pain relief and prevention treatments, including massage therapy and cold laser therapy.

Patient Reviews

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well.
