Common Pains at Work That Signal the Need for a Chiropractic Visit

If you find that you are achy after a day at work, getting treatment for any ailment you are suffering from is sure to be on your mind. Contact Ponte Vedra Wellness Center in Ponte Vedra Beach to make an appointment with our chiropractor for an assessment. Here are some common pains that indicate it is time to consider chiropractic care.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs after you make repetitive movements for long durations of time at frequent intervals. In time, you will start to feel numbness or pain in an affected area of the body. Many who work at computers will have wrist pain if they do not use proper ergonomics while typing.

Lower Back Pain

Sitting for long periods of time or lifting excessive weight without using a back brace could lead to lower back pain. Always use a lumbar support pillow at a desk or when you are required to drive long distances. It is also wise to stretch before you start working to help avoid muscle pain.

Neck Pain

Pain in the back or side of your neck can happen if you need to look down at documentation or electronic devices while on the job. Make sure to set a timer if you need to look at a cell phone or keyboard to remind you to look away for a few moments so your neck does not remain curved. Neck stress can be reduced with temperature therapy and spinal adjustments.

Using Poor Work Ergonomics

All types of aches and pains can arise if you do not put proper ergonomics into play while on the job. Using proper furniture and tools will aid in keeping parts of your body from stretching outside their range of motion. If you are unsure about safety procedures on the job, ask your supervisor for assistance.
