Do you work on a
computer daily or frequently?
Staying
seated for extended periods of time at the office or at home can lead to
serious back pain. Healthcare professionals know that sitting too long creates
pressure on the spine, distorting spinal curves and compressing discs.
All of
this can cause pinching of the nerves in the spinal cord, leading to numbness,
tingling and back pain. Help protect and maintain proper spinal curve with a
lumbar support pillow.
Some changes suggested by researchers at Cornell University and the
Cleveland Clinic Center for Spine Health can make your back pain history:
Get a lumbar support
pillow

decrease your back aches. CORE Products lumbar support pillow is made from contoured foam with side
support wings.

properly.

Keep your head centered above your
shoulders
Avoid
straining forward to see the computer by aligning your head straight up from
your shoulders.
Be sure your mouse is close to you
Your
computer mouse needs to be close to the keyboard and where your arm is in a
comfortable position.
Pay attention to your breathing
Breathe
from your belly, taking deep, cleansing breaths rather than short ones.
Sit comfortably
You
need to be about an arm’s length away from your monitor, with your monitor 2 to
3 inches above eye level. Your feet need to be flat on the floor so as not to
put stress on your ankles and knees.
Take mini-breaks
At
least once an hour, get up and limber up.
