Too Much Sitting - Community Chiropractic

We have become a society of sitters. We sit in our cars, at our computers, on planes and in front of tv. Prolonged periods of sitting can have an adverse affect on your spinal health.
Here are some tips to help:

Invest in an ergonomic chair.

Make sitting up straight important to you.

Set a periodic timer and shift your weight regularly.

Use a stool or phone book for your feet to relive low back pressure.

Get up as often as possible.

Set up your work station with you facing straight ahead with your head slightly down.

Know that this is one of the strains you are placing on your spine and make sure to give back to your body with movement, stretching, massage and your wonderful chiropractors!
