How to Stay on Top of Spinal Health at Work

We spend a lot of time at work. Many people spend hours upon hours on the clock. Very few full time workers spend any less than 40 hours a week, and most spend quite a bit more. We are a work centered country, and it shows in our health. Because of the amount of time spent on the clock, our personal health often takes a back seat. This is especially true when it comes to the health of our spines. Our backs take a beating with the amount of work that we ask of it versus the care we give it. In order to prevent back pain, check out these prevention tips to keep your back healthy on the clock and off.

Buy a Good Chair

A good supportive chair goes a lot further than you think. A chair can promote good posture and provide adequate support for both your back and your neck. This can take some of the tension and work off of the spine and give it a bit of a rest all day. If you don’t already have a supportive chair, get one as soon as you can.

Buy Good Shoes

Another important supportive item that you should have is shoes. A lot of people tend to buy shoes for their looks, but if you tend to be on your feet all day, comfort and support are much more important. The wrong shoes can cause you to stand in poor posture which can then place more work on your back. Buy shoes with optimal support and you will enjoy a healthy back for much longer.

Move...a Lot

If you want to keep your body and spine healthy, you have to move. This includes on and off the clock. When you are not at work, make time for daily exercise, even if it is just walking. When you are on the clock, take moments throughout the day to get up and get moving. A simple walk around the office or a short stretching routine may be all it takes to keep your spine in better health.

Get Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is a great way to keep the spine healthy. Sometimes the spine becomes misaligned. When these misalignments, or subluxations, happen it can cause pain, pressure, tension, headaches, and many other symptoms. In order to avoid such symptoms and keep your spine healthy, let a chiropractor align your spine on a regular basis.

To get chiropractic care, get to The Joint...the Chiropractic Place. The Joint offers walk in appointments and an affordable pricing plan so that you never have to worry with scheduling or insurance. A chiropractor at The Joint may be able to align your spine and promote a healthy spine at work and at play for years to come.
