Wokplace Hazard – Chiropractics to the Rescue!
With a massive rise in digital technology, sitting at a desk has become the most common posture in the workplace and even at home. The modern workplace requires many people to remain seated and stationary at their desk and usually in front of a monitor for eight to ten hours or more a day. When you factor in another eight hours for sleeping, this leaves very little opportunity for physical activity.
Sitting for extended periods of time can be very detrimental to your health. Prolonged sitting can lead to weight gain, heart disease, poor blood circulation, diabetes, weakened muscles, chronic body pain, and -- of course -- poor posture.
Prevention is the best medicine and a good, well-trained chiropractor is one of the best preventions available. Similar to taking care of an automobile with regular tune-ups and oil changes, seeing a chiropractor sooner rather than later will not only help you feel better and look healthier, but it can help you avoid surgery later on.
Does your job require you to sit for long periods of time? This can be difficult on your posture. After years of sitting this way, many people will hunch over their keyboard resulting in poor posture. In turn, poor posture places unwanted pressure on your neck, back, and upper shoulders. This pressure can cause the discs and bones of your spine to shift in such a way as to cause problems like herniated or slipped discs.
If you have joint and/or muscle pain or you're experiencing chronic back pain and your job requires you to sit for extended periods of time, this is a sure sign that it's time to see a chiropractor. While aspirin and other medications can mask the pain temporarily, you can improve your overall health by eliminating the pain completely. A trained chiropractor can examine you and make sure your spine is aligned properly, helping you to avoid any future problems.
