Today's chiropractors find themselves treating conditions spawned from say-to-day activities. Surprisingly, your healthy routine may be causing damage. Back pain is the fifth most common factor of hospitalizations, and it's the third most common thing requiring surgery. If you're experiencing lower back pain, upper back pain or even inconsistent pain, be careful. These five daily activities may send you to the chiropractor—or worse, the hospital.

Sometimes, back pain isn't caused by direct action. Experts believe sitting is unhealthier than smoking, and their results aren't only related to heart disease, cancer and type 2 diabetes. Sometimes, everyday habits can cause back pain. Chiropractic care has come a long way, and it's looking deeply at modern habits. If you're an office worker, a stay-at-home worker or simply love sitting—beware. These five sitting habits might be damaging more than your posture.
