Need Help With Ergonomics in Your Workplace?

If you've been struggling with problems like back pain or neck pain but you weren't in an accident, the odds are high that your pain is related to your workplace. Many of the Vero Beach area patients who come to see Dr. David have trouble with ergonomics in the workplace, but they often don't even realize how serious issues the issues are until Dr. David explains it. Here are a few ways that your workplace may be causing your pain -- and how Dr. David can help. 

Your Posture

Many of our patients have poor posture while they're working, but they're just not aware of it. It can be completely natural to slump a bit while sitting, or simply to sit in a position that negatively impacts the spine. Once the spine is out of alignment, the pain tends to last until the alignment is corrected. Dr. David corrects alignment problems with hands-on adjustments that can take effect very quickly. You can add a lumbar support cushion to your desk chair for improved support in the future. 

Your Wrists and Hands

Another very common problem seen at our Vero Beach chiropractor is carpal tunnel syndrome. This can be caused or aggravated by improper wrist and hand position while typing on the computer. Dr. David can perform gentle manipulations to correct carpal tunnel syndrome and quickly alleviate your pain. In the future, consider using a specially designed ergonomic mouse pad and hand rest for the office. It only takes a gentle correction in the way that you hold your wrists and hands to keep carpal tunnel away.
