Lower back pain can harm your overall well-being. What many people don't realize is that when you are suffering from back or neck pain, many other areas of your body experience pain as well. When one area of the body is in pain, we overexert other areas of the body to compensate. This can cause lasting effects on your body. At Eastland Chiropractic, we work to identify and address the root cause of your pain and immobility.

What Causes Lower Back Pain?

Lower back pain can be caused by several factors. You can experience lower back pain due to injuries or strains of your muscles and ligaments. While we often associate pain with serious injuries, that is not always the case when it comes to lower back pain. You can injure your lower back simply by having improper posture or lifting a heavy object incorrectly. Lower back problems are also commonly seen when someone is not getting enough exercise, is exercising improperly, has pinched nerves or disks, or is suffering from arthritis.

Causes of Back pain in Your Workspace

A common cause of back pain that you may not have thought about is your workspace. With added stress and most people currently working out of their home offices, having proper posture is more important than ever.

Depending on your job, you may spend hours hunched over in front of a computer. While that may not sound serious, sitting with poor posture for hours on end impacts your body. You can experience lower back pain, neck pain, and even develop carpal tunnel syndrome. Our chiropractors at Eastland Chiropractic will work to target your pain and treat it through several different methods. We also provide you with an outlined plan for work ergonomics.

Workplace ergonomics is a process in which you identify areas of issue in your workplace. This can include creating a proper workspace and either utilizing a standing desk or getting more supportive office furniture. Workplace ergonomics are designed to minimize your chances of suffering injuries to your back or neck. Combined with in-person treatment, a setlist of exercises and stretches, and a proper workspace, your path to healing can begin.
