Treatment From Our Sarasota Work Injury Chiropractor

At Back to Health Wellness Center, our Sarasota chiropractor sees and treats work injuries caused by poor ergonomics on a regular basis. No matter whether you work a desk job, a physically demanding job, or anything in between, you are at risk of developing a work injury as a result of poor ergonomics. 

Avoiding a Work Injury With Proper Workplace Ergonomics

The good news is that many workplace injuries can be avoided by simply going out of your way to even slightly improve your ergonomics. Specifically, ergonomics refer to the efficiency of your work environment. The more comfortable and supported your body is while you're working, the more efficiently you're able to work and the more likely you are to avoid potential injuries.

If you work a desk job, you might not think your ergonomics matter a whole lot—but they do. Sitting at your desk all day can wreak silent havoc on the body, so make sure you have plenty of neck and back support in the form of a great desk chair with adjustable height. You should also make sure that you're taking regular breaks (at least once an hour for 10 minutes) to get up, walk around, and get your blood/oxygen flowing.

For people who work the majority of the day on their feet, ergonomics are also important. Make sure your spine is properly supported with a pair of quality shoes that have great arch support. If you have to do any heavy lifting, remember to always lift at your knees and not your back. Doing so will help you avoid a potentially serious work injury.
