You may not feel any ill-effects after sitting with poor posture for a few hours, but over time the stress that poor posture puts in your spine can result in anatomical changes to the structure of your spine. This in turn can provoke back pain through the constriction of nerves and your blood vessels. In addition, the pressure from poor posture can lead to back pain by inducing issues with the intervertebral discs, your muscles, and joints.
When people slouch in their chair as they finish a report while at the office or if they spend a couple of hours weeding the garden with their back hunched forward, back pain can manifest. As it turns out, the posture in which the individual performed these activities may be contributing to their back pain.
