Lastly, the adjustment is a precise, gentle technique designed to improve nervous system function and relieve tension. Most patients feel relief immediately, and the procedure is often painless or even relaxing. We’ll finish by discussing a personalized plan to support your health, including follow-up visits and at-home care tips. You’re in control every step of the way, and we’re here to answer all your questions.
Sitting at a desk all day is tough on your spine and nervous system, but small changes can make a big difference. Here are some simple tips to improve your posture and reduce discomfort: Adjust Your Chair: Your feet should rest flat on the floor, with knees at a 90-degree angle. Support your lower back with a cushion or lumbar support. Screen Height: Position your monitor so the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level to avoid neck strain. Take Breaks: Stand up and move around every 30 minutes. Stretch your shoulders, neck, and back to keep muscles loose. Keyboard and Mouse: Keep them close enough to prevent reaching or leaning forward. By making these small adjustments, you reduce strain on your spine and nervous system, which helps prevent chronic pain and fatigue. If you’re already feeling pain, a chiropractic evaluation can identify issues and provide targeted relief. Your body will thank you!
