Roughly one in three people are affected by low back pain. Why? Poor posture is misaligning spinal cords everywhere. There are three natural curves in the spine – the cervical, thoracic and lumbar curves. When our posture is out of whack – when we’re slumping, slouching, hunched, or rounded – the curves of the spine don’t bend as they were intended. Taking the spine out of alignment is one sure fire way to stress your system.
Ever ask yourself what happens when the vertebrae don’t stack up they way they were intended? For one, your low back starts to hurt. It might be time for a review of the nervous system but suffice it to say supporting your lumbar curve in a seated position will bring your low back support and comfort like you’ve never felt before. Prepare for instant low back relief. You don’t have to live with the shooting pains associated with your 40hr desk job.

There are many kinds of back supports on the market. Take a trip to your local chiropractor’s office and check out their selection. You’ll start to feel better and even improve your posture over time because you’ll train your body how best to sit for optimal function . If you can find it, I highly recommend the QiPillow, sometimes also referred to as the Qi Orthopedic Pillow. It’s pronounced chi pillow and I can’t sit down without mine.
