Key Things to Do to Avoid Back and Neck Pain While Working From Home
While working from home has tons of perks with scheduling, money savings, and, let’s be honest, just overall comfortability, sitting in your home office all day can take a toll on your back and neck. At UPGRADE Chiropractic, we specialize in providing San Diego with the highest quality chiropractic care in the area. Here are a few of our tips to help you save your back and neck while working from home! If you need pain relief, reach out to us today or join our boost wellness plan!
Give Your Body a Break
Sitting at your desk can have several damaging effects on your body, so breaking up the time that you’re sitting can help relieve the pressure on your neck and back. We recommend getting up every 30 to 45 minutes and taking a quick walk around your home to stretch your legs and mix up how your body is positioned during the day!
Utilize a Standing Desk
Standing desks have become more popular during the last year, and for good reason. Standing desks allow you to elongate your body by standing throughout the day. Standing also encourages better posture, forcing your back and posterior chain to activate—even while you’re typing up a report! If you are having back pain, come on in to get a pain-relieving therapeutic massage!
Spend Time Stretching
If you have the time, spend time stretching once a day. This is a great way to ensure that your muscles don’t tighten up, keeping all of the pressure off of your back and helping to keep you pain-free! If you have indeed tightened up over the last year, reach out to us today for therapeutic massage or chiropractic care!
Get Regular Care
If all else fails, getting regular therapeutic massages or chiropractic corrections might be the most effective way of preventing back pain. This can get expensive, but luckily for you, we offer wellness plans to help you get the regular care you need to stay pain-free!
