How to sit while working to avoid spinal problems.

The main cause is sitting in the same position for long periods of time or sitting incorrectly, causing the muscles to remain tense without relaxation.

Prolonged sitting in unsuitable environments, along with overwork, can have serious consequences for the spine and lead to more serious conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and slipped discs, which can compress nearby nerves.

Therefore, it's important to be observant of any abnormalities in your body. If you start to feel back pain or aches in various parts of your body, don't ignore it, even though improper sitting posture often primarily affects the cervical and lumbar spine.

Setting up your workspace correctly and sitting in the correct posture while working can significantly reduce the risk of developing health problems.
