If your Seattle area office career is causing you aches and pains, Glacier Chiropractic help you find relief. Our chiropractor will create a tailored treatment plan for you, consisting of holistic pain relief techniques for optimal spinal health.
Aches & Pains At The Office
Working a desk job can cause many different forms of pain due to the muscular imbalances that often develop when sitting in one position for extended periods. Hour after hour, you get few opportunities to move around.
Non-ergonomic desks, improperly positioned workstations, and office chairs with insufficient lumbar support often contribute to work-related discomforts.
• Back Pain
• Neck Pain
• Shoulder Pain
• Sciatica
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Back, Neck & Shoulder Pain
The sedentary nature of a desk job can cause chronic pain and muscle strain in the upper, middle, or lower back. Slumping at your desk can also strain your neck, leading to persistent pain, muscle tightness, decreased neck mobility, and even tension headaches. Poor posture can also lead to chronic shoulder pain, which may progress to a type of immobility known as “frozen shoulder.”
Chiropractic pain treatment is a natural alternative to pain-relieving medications for these types of office strains.
Work-Related Sciatica & Carpal Tunnel
Herniated discs and bone spurs sometimes press on the sciatic nerve, leading to pain, numbness, and inflammation radiating down the lower back, buttocks, and legs. Poor posture, uncomfortable office chairs, and sitting for long periods of time can all contribute to this type of pain.
Carpal tunnel can be a result of repetitive hours of computer use. You may experience tingling sensations that move up your arm, difficulty holding things, and numbness, burning or itching in your palm, thumb, or index fingers.
Without proper care, these symptoms tend to worsen over time.
