How to Prevent Neck Pain While Sitting at Your Computer Desk
Sitting at a computer all day can put stress on your neck muscles, nerves, and cervical spine. At SunCoast SpineCare: Chiropractic Neurology, our chiropractor Dr. Jay Schwartz can assess your posture, work environment, work duties, and lifestyle to determine what is contributing to your neck pain in Bradenton, FL. He will then design a chiropractic care plan that helps you avoid neck pain at home and work. Here are some tips for preventing neck pain while sitting at your computer desk.
Create an Ergonomic Work Environment
Whether you work from home or in an office, your work environment plays a huge role in your health and safety. An ergonomic work environment is designed to minimize stress and strain to your body and protect your physical and mental health. Using an ergonomic desk, computer, office furniture, and office equipment can reduce stress and strain on your body and lower your risk of aches and pains. The layout of your office can also improve the way you perform your work duties and reduce stress and strain.
Maintain Proper Posture
Poor posture is one of the leading causes of neck pain and back pain. When you’re sitting at your computer desk, you should always keep your feet flat on the floor. Adjust your chair so that while your back is flat against the back of the chair, your feet are on the floor and your thighs are tilted slightly downwards. Keep your head and shoulders straight and level. Use a monitor stand to bring the center of your computer monitor to eye level. Use a wrist pad and ergonomic keyboard to help you maintain your posture and protect your body from strain.
