Work-At-Home Parents: Here's How to Keep Your Back Pain-Free

By Genevieve Cunningham

There’s a lot of hype, both good and bad, surrounding parents and the many different styles of raising children. One of the hottest debates revolves around the stay-at-home vs. working parent. While there really isn’t an answer to this dilemma (you should do what works for you!), this debate leaves out another kind of parent … one that is growing in number. The work-at-home parent. These parents both stay at home with their kids while also working a job.

While this sort of gig may seem like the best of both worlds, it also brings the stress of both worlds. You still have deadlines and meetings, but you also deal with fits and dirty diapers … and all at the same time. Perhaps that’s why this kind of parent tends to let one very important aspect of their own life go: Their health! But luckily, at least parts of your health might be easier than you think to keep healthy. Take a look at these tips for protecting the health of your back and keeping your body more comfortable overall.

Set Up an Office

It’s really tempting to work in your pajamas in the middle of your bed.  Instead, try to make a space that is just for working. This gives your back a break and gets you out of the same old position all day long. Even though the bed seems comfortable today, it will begin to cause problems if that’s the only place you sit all day, every day.

Exercise

Even though it can be tough, you have to make the time. Join a gym with a nursery, take a walk with kids in tow, or join a few friends at the park. Exercise will help work out any aches and pains and will also boost the flexibility of your spine. It’s also essential for your mental sanity which, if you work at home with kids, is absolutely necessary.

Get Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors can correct misalignments of the spine. While this may not seem like much, it actually brings about benefits such as pain relief, fewer headaches, greater range of motion, improved focus, and many others. The chiropractor may also help to keep your spine aligned long-term, which can prevent these pesky symptoms from popping back up again in the future. When it comes to keeping the spine (and honestly the entire body) healthier, chiropractic care is an excellent choice.

If you would like to try chiropractic care, visit with chiropractors at The Joint. As both a stay-at-home parent and a worker, you’re likely short on time. Luckily, The Joint offers walk-in visits so that dealing with scheduling is never a problem. You can also use their affordable (no insurance!) pricing plan to get the care you need without breaking the bank. The more you focus on your health and well-being, the better you can perform at both of your jobs! Get a headstart with a quick trip to The Joint as soon as today!
