Back Pain Caused by Office Work Computer:

The human body is an amazing design. It is complex and yet simple at the same time. We have the ability to do a variety of different tasks. Even though we can do multiple tasks, we were not designed to do repetitive tasks day in and day out - which is what machines are good for.

If you spend a great deal of your day hunched over a computer keyboard, or with a phone cradled on one shoulder or both, then you probably are experiencing some of the symptoms of postural stress. Sore back, tight achy shoulders along with headaches are very common in people that do office work. We like to say, "headaches are a pain in the neck". That is because so many headaches start because of problems with neck and refer pain to the head. Chiropractic is a safe and very effective treatment for headaches.

Carpal tunnel syndrome, with extreme pain in the wrists is often seen in computer users and people that spend a lot of their workday doing the same repetitive job. Assembly workers and construction workers can be prone to carpal tunnel syndrome, due to the amount of grasping of tools that they do daily.

Many people choose surgery for carpal tunnel symptoms, but are then unhappy with the results. We believe surgery should always be the last resort and that you should always try a naturally effective treatment first - Chiropractic.

At Springwater Chiropractic we help a lot of people that suffer from the problems described above. Our treatment is designed for each individual and can include Chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy and massage. We would also counsel you in proper ergonomics at work and give you the appropriate exercises so the problem will not return.
