Think your back pain stems from working at the kitchen table? It could be something unexpected entirely.
Slouching over a laptop on your lap or a kitchen stool isn't back-friendly, especially without proper ergonomics. But back issues often arise from other everyday factors.

As noted by the British Chiropractic Association (BCA), skinny jeans may be a leading cause of back pain. BCA chiropractor Tim Hutchful explains that their tight fit restricts hip and knee movement, disrupting natural posture and body alignment.
Other fashion choices and accessories can harm your posture too—heavy one-shouldered bags, bulky hooded jackets, and high heels all contribute to imbalance and strain.
Hutchful recommends giving your body a rest: skip these items for a day (or longer) to allow recovery and better alignment.
