Minimizing Back and Neck Pain at Your Desk
Back pain and neck pain have definitely earned their
reputation as the hallmark pain associated with having a
desk job. The reason for the common problem is that it
simply is not natural for humans to sit in the same
position for prolonged periods of time, let alone having to
look at a computer monitor and typing on a keyboard all day.

Think about it, our ancestors didn't do this, they were out
and about all day, scavenging for food, and actively on
foot much of the day instead of sitting in chairs of
variable quality, with their hands out in front of them.
That brings us to our first point about maintaining back
and neck comfort throughout the long days at your desk job.

Your chair is of vital importance to your back and neck
health since it provides the foundation for body support
that will carry you throughout the day, and it also is
responsible for the position of your neck and head when
looking at your computer screen, or reading printouts,
since many times they have arms where your elbows rest,
which help to support (or throw off) your neck.

Most big corporations will have an ergonomics person that
can visit with you and help to ensure your chair and
computer monitor are set up at ideal angles and levels so
that you can mitigate the strain and stress on your neck
muscles, eyes, and back.

Also, most companies now will offer special ergonomic
chairs for people with special needs who may have a history
of back and neck problems. Usually they may require proof
of need, or at least a written request for this special
equipment, as they usually are not cheap for companies to
purchase.

Other special equipment available to help mimimize back and
neck pain and strain on the job can be obtained as well by
contacting your health services or ergonomics contact on
the job.

One such helpful and commonly used piece is the small foot
rest which can help to elevate the legs, so that the body
is at more of a perfect ninety degree angle, which can help
to relieve back pain and prevent it from starting.

I've actually found this piece to be quite helpful if the
shoes I'm wearing that day do not have heels on them, and I
find that I need something to put my feet on to "balance
out" my posture.

Also of vital importance, not so much to your back, but to
your neck, is the position of your computer monitor. I've
recently found that my computer monitor was pushed up to
close to the edge of my desk by my keyboard. This caused
me to "look up" more than I needed to, which caused severe
neck tension by the end of the day.

The solution? I simply pushed my monitor back as far as I
could without having to squint to read it, and my neck pain
was virtually eliminated. It's actually better to have to
angle your eyes slightly downward than upward, since it is
a strain to your neck to constantly be in a pinched
position all day looking upward, no matter how undetectable
the incline is.

Get up and walk around periodically throughout the day.
Many people do not realize just how important this small
thing is to their back and neck comfort, and they will sit
for hours without getting up. Getting up helps to readjust
your body, and gives a break to the constancy of sitting in
the same rigid position all day long.

You can also go into the bathroom and do small stretches
for your back. This can be a great way to rejuvenate your
back, oxygenate your muscles, and release stiffness. Neck
rolls and neck stretches thankfully can be done right at
your desk, and these also help to periodically iron out the
muscle tension.
