Proper Workplace Ergonomics From Our Lincoln, NE Chiropractors
Proper workplace ergonomics can prevent many common workplace injuries. Unfortunately, most business workplaces are not set up this way. If you are suffering from these common musculoskeletal disorders from a work injury, check with Dr. Gregory Lott at Lott Chiropractic in Lincoln.
Common Musculoskeletal Disorders Resulting From A Work Injury
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Tendinitis
- Rotator cuff injuries (shoulder)
- Epicondylitis (elbow)
- Trigger finger
- Muscle strains and low back injuries
Injuries occur from repetitive motions and are aggravated by poor posture or extended periods of sitting.
Proper Workplace Ergonomics
If you work in an office and sit at a desk, make sure you have the right kind of chair and your monitor at the right height. Chairs should be adjustable to allow you to sit with feet flat on the ground and your knees at a slightly higher level than your hips. Lower back support is a must. Your computer monitor should be at eye level and positioned directly in front of you. Take breaks regularly and make sure you get up and walk around. Avoid long periods sitting or staring at computer monitors.
How Your Lincoln Chiropractor Can Help
Dr. Lott will provide a thorough examination in order to properly diagnose your problem and design a custom treatment plan to reduce your pain and help correct the underlying cause. Your first visit will include an assessment, testing, and may including diagnostic imaging such as X-rays.
Through spinal manipulation, we will return your spine to its proper alignment. Using carefully directed thrusts along with gentle pressure, we can push your vertebrae back into its natural place. This removes pressure from soft tissue and nerves, allowing your body to heal. It can also help reduce inflammation, improve nerve function, and help with a range of motion.
