Intro:
Back pain? Stiff neck? Your daily habits might be the culprit. The good news? A few small tweaks—and some chiropractic love—can make a world of difference. Let’s break down 5 common spine saboteurs and how to kick them to the curb.

1. The Desk Slouch
What’s wrong? Hunched shoulders and curved spines = unhappy backs.

💡Chiro tip: Adjustments keep your spine aligned and tension-free.

2. Text Neck

Quick fix: Hold your phone at eye level. Your neck will thank you.
💡Chiro tip: We can ease that tech tension and restore balance.

3. Stomach Sleeping
What’s wrong? Twisted neck + flat back = morning regrets.
