Working from Home Is a Pain In the Neck--Literally

Written By O'Keefe Chiropractic Center on April 12, 2021

Neck Pain TreatmentThe human body isn’t designed to sit as much as we do. Prolonged sitting creates tension in your back and neck, which is made worse by poor posture. This tension can trigger neck pain and headaches.

Yes, Desk Jobs Can Cause Headaches

Tension causes pressure buildup, poor blood flow, and less oxygen getting to the brain. This combination can manifest into migraines as well.

Poor, headache-inducing posture often results in neck injuries. Constant terrible posture stresses your nerves and strains your muscles, which negatively affects your spine and related joints. Your body reshapes itself into becoming perpetually hunched over. And with your body not in the correct anatomical posture, it leads to more pain and health issues.

Chiropractors Are More Helpful Than Painkillers

Headache medication may help, but it won’t stop the neck pain or tension headache from coming back. You need the medical and anatomical expertise of a chiropractor. 

You need to take steps to correct your posture and balance out your muscle build to support healthy posture, or else you’re going to hunch right back over. The right chiropractic care can help restore good posture, providing relief from headaches, neck and back pain.
