First of all, the position of the body while sitting at a
computer is usually that of an incorrect posture. By spending long periods of
time in front of a computer screen, a person will gradually start to bend
forward from the natural sitting position, creating strain throughout the spine
and its surrounding muscles. Also, the incorrect seated position causes the hip
flexors to chronically contract, causing low back pain. Any additional stress
after this point can often add tension to the shoulders, further straining the
muscles around the upper back and neck. Through time, the body recreates this
cycle over and over again, leading to chronic pain.
Chronic stress causes chronic pain. By learning how to
manage stress, the symptoms of pain as well as the emotional well being of
the individual can improve. Meditating can be a good option for stress relief.
Getting plenty of rest in a quiet environment where one can get good quality
sleep may also help reduce stress in the body. While at work, its essential to
take occasional breaks several times an hour to stand up and stretch the body.
Chiropractic care can help relieve chronic pain caused
by chronic stress as well. Chiropractic adjustments can help break the pain cycle by
realigning the spine to help improve posture, decrease the tension on the
muscles, and help prevent chronic stress from accumulating in the body.
