Sitting & Back Pain
My new job was killing me.
While my boss and co-workers were great to work with and there
were plenty of perks, there was one thing that bothered me.
After one hour, I had to get up from my desk. My back would have me in agony. I would lose concentration and what’s worse,
I’d gained 20 pounds despite not changing my eating habits very much.
My sister recommended a chiropractor who suggested I ask for
a standing desk. I had one at my last
job and it was great. When I brought it up at work, I was told it was too
expensive.
Every week, I went to the chiropractor, but I couldn’t go as
regularly as the practitioner would have liked. Sometimes, I had to reschedule
my appointments and I went nearly 2 weeks without an adjustment quite often. My back would give me painful reminders and
the chiropractor would essentially have to start over.
What’s worse, after spending time sitting at my desk and
later the car, I would sit in the waiting room until it was my turn. Surely
there was something I could do without having to take time from my lunch breaks
or rushing after work to make my appointment.
Fortunately, I learned how to eliminate my back pain and get
my weight back to normal without making a trip to the chiropractor.
I learned exactly why sitting too long caused my back pain
and weight gain and why regular stretching wouldn’t be enough to fix the problem.
Do you have back pain, weight gain
or other issues from sitting too long at a desk or behind the wheel? There are muscles in your hips that you must properly stretch or the pain will only get worse.
