Pinched nerve or muscle strain-whats the difference?
Both can hurt but they arent the same thing

Symptoms of pinched nerve-pain radiates or shoots down arm or leg
-you may feel tingling or numbness
-usually due to postural issues,disc problems or spinal misalignment

Symptoms of muscle strain-pain usually is in one spot
-area will feel sore.stiff or tight
-usually from lifting,twisting,or overuse

So if your pain shoots,tingles or feels numb its usually a nerve problem
if its sore or stiff its likely a muscle problem
Chiropractic treatment of a pinched nerve is first to remove the nerve pressure
Muscle strain is treated with heat or ice,soft tissue or muscle stimulation therapy and eventually exercise when pain free

Why sitting is the new smoking-and what can we do about it?
So to be fair sitting does not fill the lungs with toxins but its long term effects are silent,cumulative and damaging over time.
When you sit for long hours your back becomes irritated due to poor posture, muscle tightness, neck and shoulder tension,and reduced caloric burn.
This in turn leads to increased risk of heart disease,diabetes,arthritis and circulatory issues.
What can we do about it
1)move every 30 minutes-stand up stretch, walk around
2)use a sit stand desk to alternate between sitting and standing
3)engage your core-sit tall,feet flat on floor,shoulders back
4)do shoulder rolls,neck stretches or back stretches while sitting
5)remain active-while not at work take walks,do light exercises and stretch
Remember Aristotle-life is movement
Counteract the effects of sitting by moving more

5 Every day habits that cause back pain

1) Poor posture-slouching or leaning forward puts extra pressure on the spine,discs, and supporting muscles
Fix: Sit with your shoulders back,feet flat,lower back supported and keep screens at eye level
2)Prolonged sitting or standing--staying in one position too long impedes circulation and strains low back muscles
Fix:Take breaks every 39 minutes to stretch,move,change positions
3)Improper lifting technique-bending from the waist or twisting while lifting puts stress on muscles,discs,and ligaments
Fix: bend your knees,keep your back straight and lift with your legs not your back
4)weak core muscles-dont support the spine
Fix: add planks,pelvic tilts and other core building exercise to your routine
5) sleeping on a bad mattress-causess spinal misalignment while sleeping
Fix: :choose a medium firm mattress,sleep with a pillow under your legs and avoid stomach sleeping
