Working from home has become the new normal for many of us. While it offers flexibility, it also comes with a downside—long hours at the desk, poor posture, and little movement. This often leads to neck pain, headaches, and lower back issues. The good news? With the right strategies (and a little chiropractic support), you can protect your spine and feel your best.
Why Desk Work Causes Pain
-
Long sitting compresses the spine and reduces circulation.
-
Poor ergonomics strain the neck, shoulders, and lower back.
-
Lack of movement stiffens joints and weakens supporting muscles.
Chiropractic Solutions
Chiropractors can:
-
Correct misalignments caused by poor posture.
-
Relieve muscle tension.
-
Improve joint mobility, making daily tasks easier.
Top Tips for Home Workers
-
Set up your workstation – screen at eye level, feet flat on the floor, elbows at 90°.
-
Take micro-breaks – stand up every 30 minutes, stretch, or walk around.
-
Stretch daily – neck rolls, seated spinal twists, and hamstring stretches work wonders.
-
Stay active – try a lunchtime walk or 10 minutes of yoga.
