Working From Home

Well, the old dream of not having to go to work has well and truly been put to bed as more and more people find themselves always at work because they now work from home. The initial convenience and novelty has completely gone and now most are wondering how much longer they’ll have to work at the dining room table, sofa or - heaven forbid - bed.

This now common work scenario is causing many spinal issues as people cram up against a laptop, pretend to be ok with an old monitor balanced on a stack of magazines, and sitting on a chair that was definitely not designed to be sat in for 8+ hours a day. Basically, if you thought working in an office was bad for your spine, working from home is taking it to the next level.

While you’ve no doubt had all the advice about how to find the ideal angle for your head, shoulders, elbows and wrists from a million blog posts, nothing actually beats getting your spine checked by a professional to see if things are moving properly.

Regular chiropractic care can help keep your spine moving well and address those annoying niggles, in spite of all the weird and wonderful postures you’ll inevitably put it through during the course of ‘always being at work’. (And speaking of posture, check out our posture page for ways we can help with that, too.)
