2 Simple Ways to Reduce Pain at Work

By Donna Stark

It's bad enough we have to head into work every day just to pay the bills, but it's even worse when our bodies are in pain because of it. And sadly, for many people, the job they worked so hard for is the exact same job that brings them home in tears. Sound familiar? Well, if it does, you will be happy to hear there are two specific things your local chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic suggest doing that can help relieve the pain and discomfort from your job. What are they? Take a look below.

Routine Chiropractic Care

The joints in your body will often fall out of alignment if you work at a physically demanding job, don't pay attention to your posture, or aren't active enough throughout the day. And when poor alignment occurs, the function of your muscles, joints, and nerves can be impacted. You may end up dealing with symptoms such as numbness, tingling, pain, limited mobility, and compromised health. Fortunately, chiropractic care can help relieve those symptoms and take care of the underlying source that is causing all of them to occur.

The chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic are trained in a variety of methods that can bring relief to patients of all ages and stages of life. Whether you are suffering from back or sore knees after a long day at work, they can help. Placing your body in proper alignment can ease muscle tension, reduce inflammation, soothe irritated nerves, restore mobility, and optimize the function of your body's major systems. Regular adjustments can also improve sleep, reduce stress, and sharpen cognitive skills. You really can't go wrong with chiropractic care in your life.

Custom Orthotics

If your job requires you to be on your feet all day, there's a good chance you are suffering from foot, knee, hip, or low back pain. All of these issues are common, but that doesn't mean they are normal. You need to address what is going on and sometimes, that means you need to take a look at your shoes.

Custom orthotics is, oftentimes, a surprising solution. And it's not because it's a surprise they work, but rather because it's a simple fix to a very painful problem. Custom orthotics will provide support and stability to your feet and ankles which will reduce the extra strain being placed on your knees, hips, and back. Remember, you can always ask your chiropractor for advice on orthotics.
