At Hawthorne Chiropractic, we regularly see patients dealing with the health and body consequences of a sedentary lifestyle. Sitting for long periods weakens muscles, contributes to poor posture and back pain, increases the risk of chronic conditions like obesity, and can negatively impact mental well-being. Sedentary behaviour slows the metabolism, reduces calorie burning, and hinders the body’s ability to break down fats and sugars, while also affecting blood circulation and bone density.

Luckily, by taking regular breaks, moving when possible, and even introducing chiropractic care, these health risks may be mitigated, and pain can be managed.

Back pain can greatly diminish your quality of life, making it hard to get through day to day activities and relax at the end of the day. Chronic pain that lowers mobility can be an even bigger cause for concern when you begin to wonder if an invasive and potentially risky surgery is the only option to finally feel some relief.
