If you’re like most office workers in Phoenix, you probably spend many hours each day at your desk. Sitting for long stretches (often with not-so-great posture) is one of the biggest culprits behind sciatica and chronic back pain. The good news? With the right strategies and gentle chiropractic care, you can reclaim comfort and keep your workday from wearing you down.
Seeing the Whole Picture
Rather than chasing symptoms, Dr. Carla Freeman considers how the entire body is adapting to stress. Posture, ergonomics, nervous system balance, and even how you breathe all influence the way you feel. “When people finally realize their pain isn’t just about sitting too long but about how their body is coping with stress, that is when true progress begins,” explains Dr. Carla.
Her care combines gentle chiropractic adjustments with additional therapies such as massage and laser support. For chronic cases, she may recommend shockwave therapy. The serene, spa-like environment at Breathe Chiropractic makes it easier for the body to release tension and shift into a state where true healing can take place.
Simple Workday Habits That Help
In addition to chiropractic care, making small adjustments during the day make a big difference. Resetting your posture so your feet are flat, shoulders relaxed, and your screen is at eye level can immediately reduce pressure.
Work movement breaks into your day (every 30 minutes is a good idea). Whether you just stand and stretch or walk down the hall to chat with a colleague, you’re doing your body some good. Even something as simple as slowing down for a few deep breaths can ease tension and quiet an overworked nervous system (yes, your body notices when you hold your breath during stressful emails).
While daily habits help, many people also need added support to move beyond lingering pain.
Restoring Hope and Comfort
“Many people come to us when they’ve lost hope of ever feeling good. My favorite part is restoring that hope and showing them that healing is possible,” shares Dr. Carla.
