What causes posture & desk-job pain?
Desk life keeps you in one shape for hours, hips flexed, shoulders rounded, neck forward. Over time the front tightens, the back gets weak and long, and the joints stiffen where they're held still. The result is the familiar end-of-day ache.

Frequently asked questions
Can a chiropractor help with posture from desk work?
Yes. We relieve the muscle tension and joint stiffness that build up from sitting, restore mobility, and coach targeted strength work so better posture becomes your default rather than something you have to think about.
Can years of bad posture be corrected?
In most cases, yes, meaningfully. You may not erase every habit, but restoring mobility and building the right strength changes how you hold yourself day to day, and the aches that come with poor posture usually ease well before posture 'looks' perfect.
What's the best way to sit at a desk?
The best posture is the next one, your body likes variety more than one 'perfect' position. Set your screen at eye level, keep your feet supported, and get up to move every 30 to 45 minutes. We'll tailor specifics to your setup.
How long until my posture improves?
Tension and stiffness often ease within the first few weeks. Lasting change in how you carry yourself comes from the strength work, a few minutes most days, and usually becomes your default over a couple of months.
