FROM THE DOCTOR NECK PAIN AND WORKING AT A COMPUTER/DESK Sitting at a desk all day is a common culprit for neck and back pain. Luckily, many simple adjustments can prevent this discomfort. IMPROVE YOUR WORKSPACE ERGONOMICS: Monitor position: Adjust your chair or use a riser to ensure your chin is parallel to the floor when viewing the top 20% of the screen. Document placement: Hold documents in front of you or use an upright clipboard. Posture: Be mindful of your posture. Sit up straight with your nose aligned with your toes to avoid muscle imbalances. TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS: Stretch and move: Get up and stretch every hour. Focus on mobilizing your joints and increasing circulation. Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water keeps your muscles lubricated. By implementing these ergonomic principles and incorporating regular movement, you can significantly reduce your risk of developing neck pain caused by prolonged computer use. Additional information: For in-depth guidance on setting up an ergonomic workstation and staying fit while sitting, visit our website southorangechiropractic.com or contact us directly.
