The Six S's of Chronic Low Back Pain Risks. While treatment from a chiropractor can help manage back pain, it's also important to look at the bigger picture.

Your daily habits may play a role in how back pain develops—and whether it sticks around.

🪑 Too much Sitting can increase stress and stiffness in your lower back.
🏃 Sedentary Habits Not enough movement can lead to weakness and reduced mobility.
😰 Chronic Stress/Poor Sleep can increase muscle tension and pain sensitivity.
🚬 Smoking can affect circulation, inflammation, and spinal tissue healing.
🍎 Snacking/Poor nutrition can contribute to inflammation, excess weight, and loss of muscle strength.
