Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not everyone spends their entire week preparing to \u201cplay on Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our \u201cbig game\u201d for the week is more likely to take place in a conference room or on a Zoom call than in a stadium.<\/p>\n

Yes, most of us are probably not going to start our professional lives playing in the NFL – or the NBA, NHL, MLB, Premier League, Champions League, etc. (though you never know!).<\/p>\n

Instead of lifting weights and working with the coach on a new play, your weekdays may be spent sitting at a desk performing mental jumping jacks for hours at a time.<\/p>\n

And we can all agree that whether we\u2019re working out or just working, it\u2019s no fun doing it in pain!<\/p>\n

Now, you may be wondering why we\u2019re comparing professional athletes to \u201coffice\u201d professionals.<\/p>\n

Get this.<\/p>\n

Research has shown that all the hours we spend sitting at our desks can place more stress on
\nour spines than working out all day long!<\/p>\n

Why It Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So, it may be a bit too late to change careers and try out for a professional sports team.<\/p>\n

But there are a few things you can do to stay healthy and productive while you work that
\nprofessional athletes also do, and you can start right now!<\/p>\n

Get active with daily exercise.<\/p>\n

Practice daily light stretching.<\/p>\n

Receive routine chiropractic care.<\/p>\n

Together, each of these can help keep your spinal discs healthy and strong and take the stress off your spine.<\/p>\n

Chiropractic adjustments can help bring valuable nutrients to those important spinal structures.<\/p>\n

This, in turn, helps better facilitate the body\u2019s healing processes, including flushing out any inflammatory substances that can cause pain.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, researchers from SPINE found that periodic chiropractic care may be able to detect, evaluate, and prevent future episodes of work related neck and back pain.<\/p>\n

To recap, here\u2019s what you want to know about sitting and chiropractic care:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Sitting is one of the most stressful positions for your spine.<\/li>\n
  • You can keep your spine healthy with a combination of daily exercise, daily light stretching, and routine chiropractic care<\/li>\n
  • Periodic chiropractic visits can also help evaluate, detect, and treat an emerging problem, thus preventing future episodes of low back pain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Next Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    We all dream of having those moments at work that are as thrilling and rewarding as catching the game-winning touchdown.<\/p>\n

    For you, performing at your peak might mean nailing that presentation at your next team
    \nmeeting and then being able to celebrate with an activity you love.<\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t let pain slow you down and keep you on the sidelines!<\/p>\n

    That\u2019s where we come in.<\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re looking for a chiropractor specializing in neck and back pain in El Dorado Hills or Granite Bay, we\u2019re here to help.<\/p>\n

    Including chiropractic care is one of the best ways to support your active lifestyle at work and beyond.<\/p>\n

    And if you\u2019re also looking for some daily exercises and stretches to work into your daily routine, be sure to let us know.<\/p>\n

    Yes, we do that too, and we\u2019re here for you!<\/p>\n
