POSTURAL STRAIN FROM DESK WORK AND EVERYDAY ACTIVITIES

Care for the stiff neck, shoulders and back that come from long hours at a desk, on a phone or behind the wheel, in Carefree on the Cave Creek border. In most cases we can see you the same day.

WHAT IS POSTURAL STRAIN?

Hours at a desk, looking down at a phone, driving, or doing the same task again and again can leave the neck, upper back and lower back stiff and sore. Holding one position for a long time is a common trigger. Sitting upright with your shoulders relaxed back, and changing position often, helps.

HOW WE HELP

Every visit starts with a conversation and a hands-on exam, and your first treatment usually happens the same day.

How should I sit at my desk?
Sit upright with your shoulders gently back and your neck in a comfortable, upright position. Change position often, and do not keep your neck in one position for long.
