Proper Workplace Ergonomics

Proper Workplace Ergonomics

work injury

Ergonomics is often overlooked when talking about existing workplace hazards. Maybe because personal injuries due to poor ergonomics are not so obvious. However, if left untreated, injuries can be just as harmful to emotional health as other injuries.

Ergonomics is organizing a workspace to accommodate an individual. Proper workplace ergonomics can prevent pain and injuries. The main objective is to reduce musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) cases. MSDs are injuries to the body’s ligaments, muscles, tendons, and nerves.

If you can’t remember the last time you implemented proper workplace ergonomics, it’s time to seek chiropractic care.  Allow our professionals at Upchurch Chiropractic in Royal Oak, MI, to provide you with pain relief and guidance regarding proper workplace ergonomics.

Tips on Proper Workplace Ergonomics

Practice Good Posture: Good posture is not always about what feels correct since some working positions may be comfortable for you but ergonomically incorrect. Your chiropractor can help you determine ergonomically correct postures that maintain your musculoskeletal health.

Alternate movement patterns: If job rotation is impossible, take breaks and stretch to prevent your muscles from straining too much.

Lift with your knees: If your job involves lifting, avoid lifting with your back muscles and instead utilize the knee muscles.

Find a good chair: If your work involves sitting at a desk for many hours, get an ergonomic chair with various settings for different sitting positions. Also, get yourself a footrest if your feet don’t reach the floor comfortably.

Look after your eyes: If your work involves working with a computer, adjust your monitor to bring it to eye level, and invest in anti-glare glasses.
