backpain


When most people think of back pain caused by work, they imagine manual labor – a physically demanding job that have you lifting heavy objects. While that type of work can cause back pain, office work can be just as painful. In this guide, our team at Advanced Physical Medicine of Yorkville shares some of the most important steps you can take to prevent back pain in the office.

Practice Proper Posture 

As long as a day might feel, you must always use good posture. This means you:

  • Head and neck should be upright
  • Shoulders should be rolled back
  • Arms should be parallel to your spine
  • Feet should be flat on the floor
  • The body should be relaxed

Pay Attention to Your Space 

It can be incredibly difficult to practice good posture when your workspace doesn’t support it. However, you can change it with the following steps:

  • Choose a fully adjustable chair that has lumbar support, a padded seat, and the ability to swivel.
  • Get a footrest if your chair needs to sit too high for your feet to reach the floor.
  • Position your monitor at eye level and make sure it’s bright enough for you to see clearly.
  • Put everything at arm’s reach, including your phone, keyboard, and anything else you regularly need to get to.

Be Active 

It’s much easier to practice good posture when your muscles can help hold your spine upright. Working out regularly and stretching each day can go a long way in preventing or reducing back pain.

Consider Hands-Free Options 

Holding your phone between your head and shoulder is almost guaranteed to lead to neck and back pain. Try using the speaker or a headset instead.

Seek Chiropractic Care 

Routine chiropractic care can help eliminate the back pain you currently suffer from. However, it can also prevent back pain in the future.
