Consider the following items as you think through your office set up. If you do need help with pain, then Health First Chiropractic Marysville is the place to go.

Proper Office Ergonomics and Proper Posture

You deserve an office renovation as it relates to your work and study. Here are some things that your will want to consider helping avoid work injury.

  • Your chair is the most important piece of equipment that you must work with. It is the one thing that you are in contact with the most during the day. Keep the height of the chair so your feet are flat on the floor and your thighs are parallel to the floor.
  • Keep essential items close so you do not have to overextend and risk pulling a muscle or falling out of your chair.
  • Your computer should be at such a level, so your arms remain level and your hands are below the elbow. This will keep you from developing hand and wrist issues. Keep the sensitivity low so you only must touch the mouse or keyboard lightly to make it work.
  • Use a headset or earpiece if you work on the phone. If you must constantly bend your neck to hold the phone, then you are a good candidate for a neck injury.
  • Your computer monitor should be at eye level, so you do not have to look down so much. If your neck is sore, chiropractor care can help put an end to the pain.
