It's Time to Stop Over-Sitting!

Injury Prevention

Most experts agree that lower back pain is frequently related to sitting for extended periods of time. Most of us spend the majority of our day doing exactly that - sitting! We sit while we're commuting to work, while at our desks, during our meals, and when relaxing while watching TV. There's no denying it, we spend a lot of time sitting!

Sometimes it seems like the only time we aren't sitting is when we're moving to our next seat. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that pain in the lower back is an ever-growing problem.

Tips to Stop Over-Sitting

It is not very likely that we can all just stop sitting, but we can be more aware of how long we are sitting for each day. Here are a few simple steps you can take to reduce the strains of sitting.

  • Change your position frequently
  • Stretch your back and spine every hour
  • Use your phone to set an alarm and remind yourself to get up every 45 minutes and take a short walk
  • Take interval breaks throughout the day

By following these easy tips, you can reduce the negative effects over-sitting has on your back. If you’re suffering from frequent back pain that doesn't seem to be going away, contact our practice today for an appointment.

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!
