If you spend hours sitting at a desk, driving, or working on your laptop, you’re not alone. Many people in Rutherford, NJ spend most of their day seated—and while it might feel harmless, prolonged sitting can take a serious toll on your spinal health.
At Prime Relief & Wellness, we’ve seen more patients than ever complaining of back pain, neck stiffness, and poor posture linked to long hours of sitting. The good news? With the right approach, you can reverse the damage and prevent future discomfort.
1️⃣ Why Sitting Hurts Your Spine
When you sit for extended periods, especially with poor posture, you put increased pressure on your lower back and spinal discs. Over time, this pressure can lead to disc compression, muscle imbalances, and even nerve irritation.
Common symptoms include:
-
Tightness in the lower back or hips
-
Neck or shoulder tension
-
Headaches
-
Numbness or tingling from poor circulation
Even a high-quality chair won’t fully protect you if you’re not taking breaks and moving regularly.
2️⃣ Posture Problems from Desk Work
Most people unknowingly slouch while working—shoulders rounded, head tilted forward, and spine curved. This “tech neck” position causes strain on the cervical spine and weakens core muscles. Over time, it can even alter spinal alignment.
That’s why posture correction has become one of the most common reasons people in Rutherford seek chiropractic care.
3️⃣ How Chiropractic & Soft Tissue Therapy Help
At Prime Relief & Wellness, we use a combination of:
-
Chiropractic adjustments to restore spinal alignment and mobility.
-
Soft tissue and muscle recovery techniques to relieve tension, improve flexibility, and promote healing.
-
Personalized exercises to strengthen the muscles that support your posture and prevent pain from returning.
Whether you’re a desk worker, student, or driver, this integrated approach helps your body move the way it was designed to—without constant stiffness or pain.
4️⃣ Small Daily Changes Make a Big Difference
✅ Take a 2-minute standing or stretching break every 30–45 minutes.
✅ Keep your screen at eye level to avoid leaning forward.
✅ Engage your core while sitting to support your lower back.
✅ Schedule regular chiropractic visits for preventive care.
