I am seeing an increase in back pain at my clinic these days, due to having people working from home and also from a decrease in physical movement.What I am seeing is people who are working from couches, beds and soft chairs which are not meant for long-term working conditions.

These soft areas don’t allow for support of the spine, pelvis and to maintain posture.

After sitting in these spots for hours on end, people are standing up and realizing that they now have lower back pain, hip pain or upper back and neck pain.

Sitting in this sort of posture for extended periods of time causes postural imbalances like Upper Crossed Syndrome which is a postural dysfunction of imbalanced muscles that can leads to distorted movement patterns.

This causes a “trickle down” effect onto t

he body that can cause various body pain that may seem unrelated but it really isn’t.Our body has muscle memory and if we sit in horrible postures for extended periods of time, our bodies remember this posture and keep us stuck in it, even after we are up and moving around.

It is something that you may not always notice right away but over time postural imbalances cause many other pain-related issues.

With acupuncture we work to correct the muscular imbalances, give corrective exercises for the imbalances and reduce pain as quickly as possible.
