Neck Pain Chiropractor in Rice Lake, WI
Neck Pain
Your neck may be small, but it is mighty. It is home to seven important vertebrae that make range of motion possible. This portion of your spine is called your cervical spine, and just like with the rest of it, when something goes awry, you notice.
Considering how often we use devices these days, it’s no surprise that we see more and more patients due to neck discomfort. It’s especially important to learn how to take care of your neck in the new working environment. We’re seeing many remote employees who are utilizing insufficient and remarkably body-impairing spaces to work from home.
Dr. DeSantis and the Chiropractors at Wild Rivers in Rice Lake would like to help you help your cervical spine. Many of our patients are suffering from the following symptoms all too often:
-
Stiff neck
-
Loss of range of motion
-
Can’t comfortably turn head
-
Sleepless nights
-
Discomfort when working at their desks and looking at their computer screen
-
Discomfort when looking at phone or device
-
Discomfort when sitting, standing, or the body is at rest
-
Sharp pain or dull pain that radiates into shoulders or down into fingers
Here is some quick advice for those who are remotely working on computers all day:
-
Do not use your bed as your office
-
Do not use your sofa as your office
-
Use an ergonomically correct chair with proper lumbar support
-
If you don’t have a desk, use your kitchen table or invest in a small computer desk on castors that’s easy to move
While you may not think your need to make this investment, your neck may be of a different opinion. The amount of time, energy, and money spent on seeing a chiropractor will outweigh these proactive measures of properly supporting your cervical spine.
