Do you work at a computer? If so, chances are you are not sitting properly. Improper posture while sitting can cause neck and back pain. Proper sitting posture and proper computer posture can greatly help to eliminate that pain.
Here's your 5-point checklist for proper computer posture:
- Monitor Position
- Chair Setup
- Keyboard & Mouse
- Head & Neck
- Break Schedule
Even with perfect posture, sitting for extended periods puts stress on your spine. Regular chiropractic adjustments can help counteract the effects of desk work by maintaining proper spinal alignment and reducing muscle tension.
