Protecting your back should be a priority when it comes to your physical health in the workplace. Often, our patients have back pain or workplace injuries from an accident or poor long-term habits at work. Luckily, Dr. Michael Wilson at Kosak Chiropractic, serving Fairfield, CA, offers back health care, including chiropractic interventions and supportive therapies.
4 Ways You Can Protect Your Back at Work
Our back, including the spine, vertebrae, muscles, and joints, allows us to:
- Move around.
- Twist and bend.
- Stand up straight.
Your back is the structural support for your entire body. If you injure your back, or you are affected by a disease, it can have serious repercussions on your overall quality of life, including your ability to work. Here are four easy ways to protect your back and help prevent back pain and injuries.
- Adjust your workspace and make it more comfortable for you. This includes adjusting the height of your chair and monitor where needed, so they suit you ergonomically.
- Maintain a proper posture at work. Half the battle of a good posture is a strong core. Dr. Wilson can guide you with exercises to improve your core strength and overall posture.
- In almost any work environment, at some time, something heavy will need to be lifted. Lift correctly, and do not overextend yourself. Ask for help if it is too heavy.
- Try to adjust your position regularly and stretch your muscles, including taking breaks at appropriate times, even if this is only a walk to the water cooler or the bathroom.
