How to Keep Healthy Working Conditions for Your Spine

By Genevieve Cunningham

In the country that we live in, we work a lot. It’s in our blood … we work, work, work, and most of the time still believe that we need to work more. While working can be a good thing in many ways, too much work can be damaging to our health. In order to protect your long-term health (especially in your back), take a look at these tips for maintaining healthy working conditions and space.

Change It Up

The back might hurt often just because it’s not moved enough. Many jobs require the same position all day long, or it might require the same repetitive positions over and over. This can make the spine sore, which may manifest as back or neck pain. In order to fight this problem, make moments to change it up. Use your breaks wisely, take brisk walks, stretch, or request some minor changes to the work space to get as much movement as you can throughout the day.

Don’t Forget the Ergonomics

Technically ergonomics is the study of productivity in the workplace. It takes into account all of your surroundings and determines what makes a person more productive. In an office setting, this usually means taking care of posture and the spine and the body in general. Make sure that your chairs are supportive and comfortable. Ensure that your desk is at an appropriate height for your body. Buy supports such as pillows or braces to make the day more comfortable. Small changes such as these can make a huge impact on the long-term health of the spine.

Regular Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors focus on the spine specifically. They’ll look for misalignments and correct these problem areas using spinal manipulation. These areas can cause pain, stiffness, inflammation, headaches, and many other unwanted symptoms. By getting care regularly, you may be able to treat the current side effects, and even prevent further problems from popping up in the future. This may not only make you feel better in general, but might help with your attitude and productivity at work as well.
