The modern work environment was not designed with healthy biomechanics in mind.
The spine is designed for an environment of almost constant motion. But we live in a sedentary world. We sit in the car on the way to work. At work, we sit for eight hours and then get back in our car for the drive home. After work, we’re so exhausted that we…sit down on the couch. We sit way too much.
In fact, over 200 scientific studies show that sitting all day for work is more dangerous to your health than smoking cigarettes, regardless of physical activity. Exercise DOES NOT offset the negative health consequences of a sedentary lifestyle.
Ergonomic stress placed on the body while sitting has a host of negative health consequences.
The spine is the motor and engine of the brain. The brain controls every single cell-oriented tissue in the body. When the spine becomes unhealthy, distorted, or has bad mechanics, it weakens and irritates the nerves that control every cell, organ, muscle, gland, and hormone in the body. It also creates a negative feedback loop between the body and brain that can affect:
- Sleep patterns
- Mood
- Brain fog
- Anxiety
- Hormone regulation
- Memory
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Numbness and tingling
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Sciatica
- Poor posture
- Depression
Needless to say, this environment is not suited to productivity.
Children are not immune to these consequences. School is now conducted on tablets and computers, and each generation is spending more time with technology and entertainment.
Many people resort to over-the-counter painkillers, stretches, massages, or ergonomic exercise routines to relieve the pain and dysfunction of too much sitting. These strategies can provide short-term relief, but they will never address the root cause of the postural distortion, abnormal pressure, and mechanics on the spine. Leaving these issues untreated can lead to more serious spinal deformity, as you begin to reshape the structure of your skeletal system.
The only profession that addresses that structural problem is corrective chiropractic. It cannot be addressed with stretching routines, physical therapy, or exercises alone. Chiropractors are different. They are specialized and highly trained in analyzing spinal alignment, distortions, and biomechanical problems that lead to common pain syndromes and neurologic health consequences of a sedentary lifestyle.
