The sedentary lifestyle of modern 21st-century life goes against the natural health of the human body – that which requires constant movement or activity to remain strong and in optimal health. According to Dr. Jodi Cappello at Cappello Chiropractic in Verona, NJ, without appropriate movement, your body will likely become stiff, causing pain that can easily interrupt your daily routine.

The body's natural build requires movement and standing. Without those, the build-up of stress has the potential to compress the lower back’s tissues, often resulting in the development of pain that can advance to a chronic condition.

- Stay aware of your posture when sitting.
- Routine stretching helps to strengthen muscles and helps properly realign the spine.
- Lower back disc issues can be improved if you remember to shift position several times each hour. Talking on the phone? While conversing, walk around your home or office. Helpful Hint - set an alarm (on a computer, watch, or phone) to remind yourself to move.
- Modify the environment in which you work to meet your needs.
- Make sure you sit up tall.
