Introduction
Many people suffer from back pain without realizing that their daily habits may be to blame. From how you sit at your desk to the way you sleep, small actions can add up over time, leading to chronic pain and stiffness. The good news? By making a few simple changes and incorporating chiropractic care, you can keep your spine healthy and pain-free.
5 Common Habits That Damage Your Spine
1. Poor Posture at Work
- Slouching while sitting at a desk can strain your spine and cause long-term pain.
- Fix it: Use an ergonomic chair, sit with your feet flat on the floor, and keep your screen at eye level.
2. Sleeping on the Wrong Mattress or Pillow
- A mattress that’s too soft or too firm can cause spinal misalignment.
- Fix it: Choose a supportive mattress and a pillow that keeps your neck aligned with your spine.
3. Looking Down at Your Phone Too Often (“Text Neck”)
- Constantly looking down at a screen strains the neck and upper spine.
- Fix it: Hold your phone at eye level and take breaks from screen time.
4. Carrying Heavy Bags or Backpacks
- Uneven weight distribution from a heavy bag can cause muscle imbalances and back pain.
- Fix it: Use both straps of your backpack, lighten your load, and avoid carrying heavy purses on one shoulder.
5. Lack of Movement and Exercise
- Sitting for extended periods leads to stiffness, weak muscles, and poor circulation.
- Fix it: Incorporate daily stretching, take breaks to stand, and engage in regular exercise.
