I had a cervical discectomy at an unusually young age, was largely attributed to poor sitting/posture.

My neurosurgeon for the procedure was fantastic, but he basically said "humans aren't made to be in any position for prolonged periods of time". His recommendation was a sit/stand desk and to occasionally but consistently be changing things up -- re-positioning, standing/moving, using an exercise ball occasionally, etc..
