Watch your Posture
It is very important to sit up straight, and keep your head up. A common cause of neck pain, which can further distort your posture and put other parts of your spine at risk is Forward Head Posture (read about Forward Head Posture at: Disc Decompression Therapy)

Stand up/ Stretch.
Sitting around all day on a chair can lead to dysfunction in the body’s movement and postural systems. For instance prolonged periods of sitting, over time can lead to tight hip flexors and, slouching can load the spine incorrectly and lead to problems with the inter vertebral discs.

Get Active.
Having a regular exercise routine is not just good for your heart, regular exercise can help strengthen your postural muscles. Deep core stabilizers and spinal erectors are responsible for holding you’re skeletal tissue together and providing long term support.

Stay Active.
The body is great at finding the path of least resistance and adapting to it, so if you slouch, you just make it easier for your body to adapt to that position and load your spine incorrectly. Building up your muscles to support your skeletal structure allows you to not only move, but sit properly.

Know when to see a specialist.
If you’re suffering from pain and living on pain killers, just to get through the work day, it’s a good idea to see a pain specialist. Chiropractic care, physical therapy and behavior modification as well as massage therapy can be combined with other medical techniques to speed up the body’s natural healing process and allow herniated or bulging discs to retract back in to the vertebrae and relieve pain without invasive surgery.
