When you’re sitting, pressure is greater within your discs. Espesically if you are not sitting properely with a correct curve in your back.

Once a disc is damaged, it has little ability to heal if sitting posture is incorrect.

Truck drivers, daily commuter and office personnel spend a lot of time sitting and therefore have the greatest risk of disc damage.

Proper selection of chairs is very important and posture supports. We have a full line of back supports at the Back to Life Store.

Sitting with the legs straight out is not recommended as it increases the pressure on your discs. That is one of the reasons why recliners are on Dr. Schuler’s No list for chairs to sit in.
