Proper work ergonomics can be important for many jobs, whether you find yourself sitting at a desk most of the day or performing repetitive motions like loading and unloading a truck or delivering packages. Without an optimal work environment, you can suffer aches and injuries. At Precision Chiropractic in Amarillo, TX, we can help you get proper work ergonomics while easing pain due to a poorly set up work environment.
Why Do Ergonomics Matter?
When you are 18 years old, you may be able to sit hunched over a computer for hours or toss boxes into a truck without feeling much, if any, pain.
As we age, however, we need to worry about our posture, our arms' position, and whether we are bending correctly. Having your computer monitor at the wrong angle can cause you to slouch, putting pressure on your neck, shoulders, and back. Something as simple as raising your monitor to your eye level can make a world of difference in how you feel. Having the proper setup in your work environment can prevent future damage to your body.
How Can a Chiropractor Help Me?
After a complete exam and a discussion about your health concerns and work environment, a chiropractor on our team sets out to determine the root cause of your pain. It may be you're sitting in an incorrect position, which is putting a strain on your neck and back. Our team uses chiropractic care, such as gentle spinal adjustments, to help relieve your current pain while suggesting proper posture to keep the pain from returning.
Soft tissue mobilization can help loosen tight muscles and corrective exercises can help keep those muscles loose to prevent aches and pains. We can also give you tips such as getting up and walking around if you find yourself sitting for hours on end.
