Lower back pain from work
Long hours at a desk, repetitive movements, poor posture, or standing all day can slowly add up to neck pain, back pain, headaches, tight shoulders, and wrist discomfort—even if your job doesn’t feel “physical.”
Simple tips to protect your body during the workday:
  • Adjust your screen to eye level
  • Keep feet flat and hips slightly higher than knees
  • Take a posture check every 30–60 minutes
  • Stand, stretch, or walk for 2–3 minutes each hour
  • Relax your shoulders and avoid hunching
  • Switch hands or positions reminder for repetitive tasks
If pain is persistent, worsening, or interfering with your daily life, it’s your body asking for help—not something to push through.
Our doctors don’t just treat symptoms—we assess posture, movement patterns, muscle tension, and joint function to address the root cause of ergonomic-related pain.
