If you live with chronic pain, you’ve heard this advice a thousand times. From doctors. From family. From well-meaning friends. Maybe even from your own inner voice, urging you to protect yourself from further injury.

But here’s the truth: This advice is not only wrong—it may actually be making your pain worse.

Here's what your surgeon probably didn't tell you: 94% of patients who are told they need joint surgery can avoid it entirely with the right conservative treatment approach.

Whether you’re at your desk working on a computer, checking emails on your phone, or scrolling through social media, these habits come with a hidden cost: tech neck. This modern condition, caused by prolonged forward head posture while looking at screens, is becoming a common cause of neck and upper back pain.

Your spine does a lot more than support your posture—it protects your spinal cord, which is the main highway of your nervous system. That means when your spine is out of alignment, it can interrupt the flow of communication between your brain and the rest of your body.

If you're one of the millions of people who suffer from frequent headaches or migraines, you know how frustrating—and sometimes debilitating—they can be. But what if your spine had something to do with it?

If your back or neck hurts at the end of the day, posture may be the culprit. You don’t have to be a gymnast to need good alignment. The truth is, posture affects how your entire musculoskeletal system functions — and when it’s off, pain is the result.

Slouching at your desk, leaning over a phone, and even standing with your weight unevenly distributed puts extra pressure on the joints, especially in the spine, shoulders, hips, and knees. Over time, this leads to inflammation, stiffness, and eventually chronic pain.

If you're living with chronic joint pain or arthritis pain, you've probably tried everything—over-the-counter meds, creams, stretching, maybe even cortisone shots. But what if part of the solution is sitting on your plate?
