Sitting & Studying With Back Pain

Injury Prevention

Sitting for long periods of time is not great for your back—and it can be even worse if you have a herniated disc. If you’re suffering from a bulging disc but need to buckle down and do some studying, these tips can help you overcome back pain, focus on the task at hand, and ace the test. 

Tips for Sitting & Studying With Back Pain From a Herniated Disc

When you’re studying with a herniated disc, comfort is key. Start by choosing the right chair. A seat with good lumbar support can make a world of difference. If you’d rather not buy a whole new chair, a lumbar support pillow may be all you need to protect your back and avoid herniated disc pain while sitting. 

Adjust your desk height so that your elbows are at a 90-degree angle when typing or writing. This helps to keep stress off your back and neck.

Good sitting posture is crucial, especially when dealing with a herniated disc. It starts with your back being straight and shoulders relaxed, preventing unnecessary strain on the spine.

Take regular breaks to stand up, stretch, and walk around for a few minutes. Moving can help relieve pressure on the spine and increase blood flow, which eases the pain and discomfort of a herniated disc. Plus, it can help you break through mental blocks that might be stopping your progress on your paper. 

Get Chiropractic Care for a Herniated Disc

Chiropractic adjustments play a vital role in managing pain caused by a herniated disc and can help heal your condition. Adjustments involve gentle techniques that restore balance to your musculoskeletal system. By improving spinal function, chiropractic care promotes better posture while sitting or studying, which is crucial for those experiencing back pain.

As muscles relax and tension eases, everyday activities like sitting and studying become more manageable. Incorporating chiropractic care into your routine not only addresses existing issues but also builds resilience against future injuries. Regular visits can decrease the likelihood of re-herniation by strengthening surrounding structures.

I have been going to Williamsburg Chiropractic for two months. It is clear that the doctors at this practice are dedicated to helping their patients feel the best that they can. I love that the intake process includes taking x-rays, as it provided me with a clear picture of my structural imbalances and helps me understand more deeply how the adjustments are helping to realign my spine. There are also incremental body scan check-ins which reveal the progress my nervous system is making as a result of the adjustments over time. The office is also very efficient with wait times. Highly recommend!

Williamsburg Chiropractic is a quality practice all around.The front desk staff are always kind and responsive, Dr. Hoffman & Dr. Thomas are informative and consistently demonstrate expertise in their field, and I've never had a single billing issue (even while using my medical insurance plan).I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Williamsburg Chiropractic if you're experiencing any pain or discomfort - no matter the severity - as they may be able to help!

I suffered from a pinched nerve from my neck running down my arm for 3 months. It stopped me from working out which I had been doing daily. Went to a physical therapist for 2 of the 3 months. Did acupuncture regularly. Visited a neurologist. I did not want to take any medication to get rid of the pain, but nothing was working. Until I found Williamsburg Chiropractic.After very thorough examination and 1 week of treatment, we had established the reason for my pinched nerve and the pain had reduced by 60%. 2 weeks after that the pain was completely gone and I am now back to my routine of lifting heavy weights. BIG BIG thank you to the amazing people at Williamsburg Chiropractic. I am forever grateful and VERY HIGHLY recommend them to anyone suffering from any sort of body aches.

I tweaked my back weightlifting, and it was pretty painful to say the least. Within one session with Dr. Hoffman, I was in significantly less pain, and in two sessions in two days I was near back to normal. If you're debating a holistic route to pain, this is a great place to start. They x-ray you so they know exactly what they're working with and are very patient with explaining everything going on with your body. Would recommend!
