Tips To Improve Your Workspace

If you’re like many working Americans, you probably find yourself spending much of your day hunched over your computer, typing the day away. Whether you work in an office or from home, it is important to to make sure your workspace is friendly to your body and back. Here are our tips to improve your workspace and ensure it is ergonomically friendly.

1. START WITH YOUR SEAT

Have you ever actually really thought about how much time you spend sitting in your desk chair? Proper posture while seated for extended periods of time is very important to the health of your back. Be sure that you have a chair that encourages proper posture, has an adjustable height lever, a comfortable cushion, the ability to swivel, and arm support. No matter how ergonomically friendly your chair is, you should get up and stretch and walk around for a few minutes every hour.

2. ADJUST YOUR SCREEN

Your computer screen should be kept at eye level. Most desks will have you seated above your computer, which forces you to tilt your neck and head down while working on your desktop or laptop. To fix this, purchase a laptop stand or even stack a few books until your computer is at eye level.

3. CHECK YOUR KEYBOARD AND MOUSE

When you are typing on your keyboard, pay attention to where your wrists and hands are. Now try the same thing with your mouse. An ergonomic keyboard and mouse will give your hands and wrists a more comfortable resting place.

4. REPLACE YOUR DESK

This last option isn’t quite as budget-friendly, but it will be worth it in the long term. Sitting all day can do major damage to your spine. If you switch to a standing desk, you will be able to rotate between sitting and standing throughout the day, which will give your low back a break from the strains of slouching at your desk all day long.

Patient Reviews

"My overall health has also improved because my allergies and my arthritis are also not as severe as they used to be. Dr. Stiles has always been very accommodating with her hours and appointments, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Over the years, I have recommended my sister, my best friend, my cousin and other friends to this office for chiropractic care."

-Anonymous

"Excellent patient care and a convenient location.  Dr. Stiles technique is gentle and effective.  The office staff is professional and flexible.  The office hours offer a wide array of times for busy working people.  I switched from a chiropractor that I loved for the location and have not lost anything in terms of service.  I highly recommend for pain management, maintenance and wellness services."

-Ruanda G.

"Not the typical doctors office.  Dr. Stiles & staff are friendly and are flexible with appointments. And my neck and my back feel great!"

-Kevin T.

"Dr. Stiles is very gentle and caring and helpful in explaining what was wrong with my neck and spine. She came up with a treatment plan for me for the next few months. I was re-examined a few weeks ago and showed a lot of improvement! All without surgery. I highly recommend this chiropractic office."

-Monique P.

"Everyone in the office is very nice and helpful. I started going to Dr. Stiles because I had vertigo for more than a year. My doctor just told me it would go away eventually and prescribed Dramamine (which just made me feel sick). I decided to try this method as a last effort to get rid of it and it's worked. I couldn't be happier with the results from my visits here. I would (and have) recommended her to friends and co-workers."

-Jennifer M.

"I've been seeing Dr. Stiles for the past 10 years and in that time, my sciatic nerve has stopped flaring up. I also have had no more middle ear infections or ringing in my ears. I first started going to Stiles Chiropractic for what I thought was the beginning of carpal tunnel syndrome, my wrists, hands and fingers were numb and tingling. After a few adjustments, I was feeling much better and have not had that issue since.

-Dee M.

"Dr. Stiles has been my chiropractor for almost a decade. Regular visits to Dr. Stiles help me prevent tension from escalating and causing severe, debilitating pain that I've had in the past. I used to "throw my back out" once or twice a year, resulting in my being unable to move for three or four days. With ongoing maintenance, I'm happy to say that that rarely happens anymore, and if it does, Dr. Stiles knows me well enough to help fix it right away."

-Cathy H.

"I see Dr Stiles every week for neck pain and she is amazing! She is very kind and responsive to her clients. Highly recommended."

-Samantha M.

"Dr. Stiles is stellar! I am a resident of Los Angeles and any time I'm in town this is my go to place for chiropractic. Dr. Stiles is very thorough and educated on every joint in the body. I feel at ease and in good hands and most importantly well-informed through our entire sessions. I always walk out feeling taller and poised with a healthy body!"

-Kaila H.

"Wonderful! Best Ever! – I have been to chiropractors throughout my life (good and bad ones) but I have had the best experience here with Dr. Tracey. She gave me a very detailed exam and took the time to go over my exam and explain a treatment plan that will help me feel better in the long run. And I am all about preventative maintenance! She also explained my adjustment so well, I didn't freak out. Her office is wonderful, Friendly and warm!!"
