Common Pains at Work That Signal a Chiropractic Visit

Common Pains at Work That Signal a Chiropractic Visit with West Hartford Chiropractic LLC

If you have been struggling with constant aches and pains, work-related practices could be the reason. Using proper work ergonomics while conducting daily tasks will help to minimize the chance of an injury. Contact West Hartford Chiropractic LLC at the first signs of neck stress, carpal tunnel syndrome, or lower back pain to find relief. Here is some information about each of these conditions to read over.


Lower Back Pain

Many people complain of lower back pain after being at work for a full shift. There are several reasons why pain may settle into this area of your body. Lifting heavy items while on the job requires the use of a back brace or help from a fellow employee to help reduce the amount of stress placed upon the lower back. Always lift with your legs rather than bearing the brunt of the weight with your back. Make it a priority to take breaks at work rather than sitting or standing for hours on end in the same location; this will increase blood flow and minimize muscle pain. Investing in a lumbar support cushion if you sit often can also alleviate back pain effectively.

Neck Stress

Unfortunately, the stress of the neck can occur in conjunction with lower back pain. If you tend to have poor posture, the neck may hurt from a misalignment of the spine. Many people find they suffer from neck pain if they have a desk job where they need to constantly look downward. Using work ergonomics to your advantage with proper furnishings and monitor placement can help. In addition, avoid using a cell phone frequently to avoid "text neck".

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Repetitive motions can cause carpal tunnel syndrome in the fingers, wrists, and arms. Make sure to take frequent breaks and use an ergonomic-friendly keyboard and wrist rest when there is a need for constant computer work.
