Poor posture and lack of computer ergonomics can cause neck pain. This can make it difficult to continue working and result in chronic pain and disability if not addressed. Our team can improve your posture and neck pain with chiropractic treatment at the Whole Health Chiropractic Center in Issaquah.

What Are Computer Ergonomics?

Computer ergonomics includes your posture and motion while using a computer. You want to find an ergonomic setup that reduces strain on your spine. Your chiropractor can help you learn tricks and tips to maintain proper body alignment. You can also shop for the appropriate gear, including an ergonomic office chair with back support and ergonomic keyboards that reduce strain on your hands and arms.

Poor Posture and Neck Pain

Even if you maintain perfect posture, the spinal cord running through your neck doesn't get much of a rest. These seven tiny vertebrae support your head, which weighs up to 13 pounds. If you hunch over your laptop, you'll likely experience neck pain.

For neck pain relief, follow these simple tips and visit your chiropractor for adjustments when needed:

• When you look straight ahead, it's easier to maintain proper alignment between the cervical and back spine.
• Avoid hunching over the laptop, and opt for large screens that you can adjust to eye level.
• Use ergonomic mice and keyboards to avoid straining your wrist and shoulder.
• Shop for the right gear. Ergonomic chairs support the cervical spine throughout the day, and there are many other gadgets to help you maintain good posture.
