A Chiropractor's Tips for a Healthy Back at Work

By Genevieve Cunningham

If you’re an adult, you’ve probably suffered from back pain at one point or another. Back pain can stem from all sorts of things, but one of the most common is your job. Work is a necessity and a blessing, but it can certainly do a number on your spine. Most people will have work-related back pain at least once in their lives, and depending on your profession, it could be a lot more. If you want to beat back pain and keep your spine healthy while on the clock, check out these tips that come straight from professionals.

Use Your Breaks Wisely

If you work a full-time job, you’re required a certain number of breaks. In order to keep your back healthy, use those breaks wisely. Don’t waste them with Facebook or nonstop texting. These are great opportunities to rest your back if you’ve been on your feet all day or to get in some exercise if you’ve been sitting. A brisk walk, a simple stretch, some squats and lunges … all of these can help keep your body strong and flexible for a healthier back and body.

Stretch Before, During, and After

Work is … well, work! It’s important to prepare your body for the stress ahead. Start your day with a quick and easy stretching routine and end your day on the same note. This helps to keep the body limber and loose. It can also be beneficial to make opportunities to stretch while on the clock. This is especially true if you spend long hours in the same position, whether that’s on your feet or sitting behind a desk.

Don’t Forget Your Regular Visits

Regular visits to see the chiropractor are an important part of keeping your spine in good shape. Chiropractors correct misalignments of the spine. These problem areas can cause pain, tension, inflammation, headaches, and many other negative side effects. By keeping regular visits, chiropractors may be able to keep these misalignments corrected, which can continuously enhance your back health and keep those unwanted symptoms away.

If you would like to try chiropractic care, visit with chiropractors at The Joint. The Joint makes it easier than ever to get care with walk-in visits and affordable pricing. No need to make appointments or hassle with your insurance company. Just come at your convenience and get the care you need for a healthy back at work, home, and play.
