Chiropractic Tips for Office Workers

By Lana Bandoim

The day begins with a meeting at work and a conference call. Then comes a working lunch at the desk while emailing reports to coworkers. The day ends with another meeting and more conference calls. Office workers spend hours at their desks and frequently suffer from back pain. Chiropractors have the following tips that may help working in an office more bearable.

Focus on Ergonomics

Ergonomic chairs and desks can make a big difference for office workers. Chiropractors suggest that people make sure all of the equipment they use at work is ergonomic. Not only is it more comfortable, it also reduces the risk of injuries and back pain. Adjustable desks and chairs are good options for most office workers.

Remember to Move

When you are answering phone calls, writing reports and responding to emails at a desk, it is easy to forget to move more. However, chiropractors frequently see patients who have back pain because they sit during the day. Try to change your sitting position at work. Find an excuse to get up and walk around the office or go out to lunch. Make sure you incorporate exercise into the schedule to counteract the hours of sitting at work.  

Wear the Right Shoes

Although some offices have strict regulations for shoes and clothes, it is still important to wear comfortable shoes that do not pinch or create pain. Wearing the wrong shoes can lead to nerve damage over time. They can also increase the risk of tripping and falling while working. A fall can lead to serious injuries that jeopardize your ability to work or do basic tasks.

See a Chiropractor

Sometimes it is not enough to use an ergonomic chair or desk. You may still end up with back pain and other problems. However, a chiropractor can address a variety of joint issues and reduce pain. Consider seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis to get help for back pain.
