We all know what pain feels like — a stiff neck after a long day, an aching lower back after sitting too long, or tension that just won’t go away. But what if your pain isn’t just from “getting older” or “sleeping wrong”?
At Harel Chiropractic in Hudson, WI, we’ve learned that many people live with pain caused by hidden everyday habits they don’t even realize are harming their bodies.
1. Posture: The Silent Stress on Your Spine
Slouching at your desk. Leaning forward while scrolling on your phone. Crossing your legs for hours.
These small, everyday positions put constant pressure on your spine and joints, leading to:
- Chronic neck and shoulder tension
- Lower back pain
- Tingling in arms or legs
- Headaches or fatigue
Chiropractic adjustments help by gently realigning your spine, improving posture, and allowing your muscles to relax naturally.
2. Stress: The Pain You Can’t See
When life gets stressful, your muscles tighten and your body releases cortisol — a hormone that triggers inflammation and pain. You might not connect your stress to your sore shoulders or headaches, but they’re often linked.
At Harel Chiropractic, we combine chiropractic care, massage therapy, and acupuncture to reduce stress and tension throughout your body. Patients often say they sleep better, breathe easier, and move more freely after just a few visits.
3. Sedentary Lifestyle: Sitting Is the New Smoking
If you work at a computer all day or spend hours driving, your muscles weaken while your joints stiffen. Poor circulation and limited movement cause pain to build up gradually.
Chiropractic adjustments improve spinal mobility, while massage therapy boosts blood flow and helps restore balance to muscles that have been overworked or neglected.
Pro tip: Even standing up for two minutes every hour can help your body stay more aligned between visits.
4. Old Injuries That Never Fully Healed
That car accident from years ago. That time you twisted your ankle. Even if the pain went away, the body often compensates by shifting alignment, leading to new pain in unexpected areas.
At Harel Chiropractic, we assess your full musculoskeletal system to identify the root cause of your pain — not just where it hurts. With consistent chiropractic care and supportive therapies, old injuries stop controlling how you move and feel.
5. Technology Neck (a.k.a. “Text Neck”)
Constantly looking down at phones and laptops strains your cervical spine. Over time, this creates forward head posture — a common cause of headaches, shoulder pain, and nerve irritation.
Chiropractic adjustments, along with posture exercises, can correct this before it becomes chronic. We’ll show you how to strengthen your neck and back so you can stay pain-free in the digital age.
