Chiropractic Care for Work Related Pain

Work can be one of two things. For some, it’s a pain in the rear. For others, work is an exciting and challenging part of life. They like what they do, and work is a place they definitely don’t mind being. Either way, whether you like your job or not, you probably end up spending a lot of time there. The excessive time that we spend at work has been leading to poor spinal health. Not only does work up our stress levels, but it can keep your back unhealthy as well. Check out the following ways in which work is hurting your spine, how to fix it, and how to prevent it from happening in the future.

How Work Can Hurt Your Back

Work often has us standing or sitting in one position for hours on end. This certainly does no favors for the health of our backs. Our bodies were intended to move, so being sedentary for long periods of time adds stress to our spines. Our attire is another way in which work may be hurting our spines. More specifically, avoiding comfortable and supportive shoes may contribute to pain or tension along the spine. While work can certainly be a good thing, the ways in which it hurts our spines can cause problems for years to come.

How You Can Prevent the Pain

To prevent the pain from happening, it’s important to take special note of working conditions. If you sit or stand often at work, make opportunities to move. If you don’t wear supportive footwear, change it up by buying and wearing comfortable shoes. Another great tip is to make sure that your work station is ergonomic. Make sure your chair promotes spinal health, your computer or workstation is appropriate, and take plenty of breaks to stretch your joints and muscles throughout the day.

How You Can Treat the Pain

Another way to treat the pain that you already have and prevent more pain from occurring in the future is to get regular chiropractic care. A chiropractor may be able to align any misalignments that are present in your spine. This can help treat any problems and pain that currently exist, but with ongoing care, it can also prevent problems from happening in the future.
