Our lifestyles have evolved dramatically over the last few years at the expense of our health. One of the most affected health areas is spine health. Here are some of the impacts of modern lifestyles on spine health:

• Excessive Screen Time: Excessive screen time leads to strained necks and awkward postures. The term “tech neck” has become popular in describing the neck pain and damage caused by looking down at screens for long periods of time. 
• Prolonged Sitting: Prolonged sitting puts pressure on the spine leading to discomfort and pain. Extended sitting can also weaken the core muscles which are essential for supporting the spine. 
• Inactivity: Physical activity is vital for keeping the spine in good shape and healthy. Inactivity leads to stiffness, reduced range of motion, and increased susceptibility of injuries.
