Tips for Managing Spring Allergy Symptoms
Spring allergy season is coming. Get tips on how to boost your immune system naturally and lessen the side effects of seasonal allergies.
Americans are sitting now more than ever making a back-friendly workspace an essential part of everyday life that can have a significant effect on your health. If you spend a lot of time at work, you should set up your office in an ergonomic way to allow some relief on your body. Since how you set up your desk and workspace can have a major impact on your overall health, here are tips for better posture using workplace ergonomics.
When working at a desk, it is a good idea to keep things you regularly use in easy reach. You will tire out your body and have a more uncomfortable day if you have to constantly move in order to reach something. If you use something frequently, then you should place those objects close to your body and at a distance that you can reach with your elbows bent.
You may constantly search for an ergonomic position while sitting in a chair all day, even without realizing it. In an ergonomically correct chair, your upper arms and legs will always be vertical, your forearms and thighs will always be horizontal, and your lower back will always be supported by the backrest.
The longer you are looking down at your computer, the more strain your neck and shoulders will be under. You should keep your eyes parallel to the top of the screen, place your computer between 18 and 30 inches from your eyes, and tilt your screen 15 to 20 degrees as well.
If you have gone too long without implementing proper workplace ergonomics and are in constant pain, it’s time to schedule a chiropractic adjustment. Let our professionals provide you with pain relief and guidance regarding proper posture at work.
