Sitting all day

While calling sitting the new smoking is an exercise in hyperbole, it is clear that excessive sitting will take some kind of toll on your spine. The degree to which sitting harms your spine will be determined by the steps you take in prevention. These steps include:

• Strengthening the core
• Setting yourself up ergonomically 
• Taking regular breaks
• Using properly adjusted office equipment
• Becoming a posture expert

But where to start? Taking action on behalf of your spine can be a difficult undertaking. That’s why we always say it’s a good idea to lean on your Sacramento spinal health experts. 

Limiting the damage of sitting all day

The first thing is to accept that your spine doesn’t have to feel that way after a long day of sitting. With the right supportive pieces in place, the right ergonomics and better postural habits, you can leave work feeling free rather than restrained. The most obvious benefit is that by being proactive, you will minimize the amount of compression that your spine is undergoing in the seated position.
