How to Prevent (or Reduce) Neck Pain While Sitting at Your Computer

Can you really treat your neck pain at work? Absolutely!

Improve Your Posture

Poor posture puts stress on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of your neck. Do your best to practice good posture throughout the day, even while you’re at your desk.

Practice Good Ergonomics

One of the main causes of neck pain is poor ergonomics, which can include:

  • Not having your seat at the right height
  • Not using an ergonomic keyboard
  • Having your computer screen too high, low, close, or far away.

Make improvements in these areas and you’ll notice a difference in how your body feels.

Stand and Walk Around

Take regular breaks to walk around and stretch your muscles, as often as every half hour. You might also consider investing in a standing desk. You can buy these new, used, or refurbish one yourself to save on costs.
