It has been said – that work can cause headaches – but it can also be said that work can be a pain in the back! Well maybe the work does not create back pain, but how you sit at your desk can result in back pain.

 

This spine wellness blog entry will provide a few tips for avoiding back pain, while sitting at your desk.

 

  • Have your chair at the proper height; your feet should be flat on the floor and your knees should bend at a 90-degree angle.
  • When you are talking on the phone, avoid bending your neck to cradle the phone against your shoulder.
  • Avoid leaning over your desk for a long period of time.  If possible, try taking breaks and stretching.
  • Sit with your back supported.
