Some people associate a visit to the chiropractor with accident-related injuries or back pain from manual labor. But chiropractic care isn’t only reserved for those who have been in an accident or suffering from a sports injury. People with desk jobs, who develop pain over time, are also good candidates.

If you stare at computer screen all day, chances are you’re suffering some kind of consequence from it. Neck pain is a common symptom associated with having a desk job, but there are some things you can do to lessen its effects—and seeing a chiropractor is just one of them.

Through chiropractic adjustments and stretching exercises, I can help relieve pain and tension that’s causing your stiff or painful neck. There are also some preventative steps you can take now:

• Adjust the height of your monitor so you’re not constantly looking down.
• Turn the brightness level on your monitor down so it’s not glaring.
• Put a pillow behind your lower back and rest your head against the back of the chair.
• If you’re otherwise in good shape, try using a stability ball as your desk chair. Stability balls force proper alignment of the spine and cause you to change positions frequently so you’re not in the same position over an extended period of time.
