Chiropractic Care for the Office Worker

By Donna Stark 

How many times have you complained about your desk job and remarked that it is surely going to be the death of you? Well, whether you were joking or not, you really aren't too far off from the truth. Years and years of poor posture, sitting, and typing can certainly take their toll on your health. Fortunately, you can minimize the damage to your body with a few proactive steps and regular adjustments from your local chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic. Take a look.

Poor Posture

Poor posture doesn't only affect your appearance. It can also impact the way you feel every day of the week! Poor posture contributes to back, neck, and shoulder pain, poor circulation, headaches and migraines, and respiratory issues. For some, these problems can start immediately, but for others, the problems can build up little by little and take years before the real damage is seen. It is crucial to pay attention to how you hold and carry your body throughout the day. Ergonomic workstations can help and so can routine chiropractic care. The adjustments your chiropractor gives places your body in proper alignment and encourages you to maintain better posture.

Sitting

If you work at a desk, then chances are, you aren't moving your body enough throughout the day. Sitting for extended periods of time can wreak havoc on your overall well-being. Take a look at some of the potential health complications that can come from a sedentary lifestyle.

• Low back pain
• Sciatica
• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Weight gain

It is so important to get up repeatedly throughout the day to move your body. Most experts recommend doing so every 30 minutes. It's also important to get adjusted regularly. The adjustments your chiropractor provides will ease muscle tension, correct joint dysfunction, and reduce the risk of serious health issues.

Typing

What may seem like an innocent activity at work could actually be one that brings about a lot of pain to your body. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful, and oftentimes debilitating, nerve injury that can be caused by typing. There are several treatments available for it, but one of the safest and most effective approaches is chiropractic care. Your local chiropractor will design a treatment plan that is customized to your specific needs so you can be sure relief is on its way!
