NeckFix

Many new online warriors quickly adapted to a remote working situation during the early days of the COVID-19 crisis. So, many home offices were improvised with whatever was handy:
* A stack of books stands in for a stand-up desk
* An empty coffee container props up your monitor
* That fun, zebra-print chair from your teen's room may look cool, but it probably lacks anything resembling lumbar support
All these workarounds lead to poor ergonomics – fitting a workstation to your body's unique needs. Similar to how poorly fitting shoes punish your feet, that workspace you constructed on the kitchen island can lead to neck and back pain. It’s also too close to the refrigerator if you have joint pain from gaining the "quarantine 15."
Chronic back pain can take a major toll on your life. In the U.S., back pain is a leading cause of missed days at work and school. Without proper care, approximately 20% of people with acute low-back pain will have persistent symptoms within a year.
We have seen a definitely increase in this type of pain, that's why we want to recommend 3 tips to combat them. Also you can go and check on our website another techniques that our spine experts had developed during years.

1. Take a stand against sitting
Problem area: Neck, shoulders, low-back, and hips.
Standing while you work can be good for your health. Adjust your monitor and keyboard so they are at comfortable heights.
2. Find a chair that fits
Problem areas: Hips, neck, and low back.
Choose a chair that delivers both support and comfort to your lower back and hips
3. See the light and the outlets
Problem areas: Neck and shoulders – plus headaches, trip hazards.
Find a spot to work that's near an outlet for a lamp or natural light.

Normal or not?

It’s normal to feel back or neck pain as you age. “Aches and pains in the spine are just facts of life,”. “They are incredibly common—some estimates say that upwards of 85% of people will experience some sort of back or neck pain.
Most people start noticing back pain between the ages of 40 and 60. However, there isn’t necessarily cause for concern if it starts younger—some people begin to feel the effects of an aging spine as young as 30.
While a little bit of spine pain is perfectly normal, there are several signs that back or neck pain is due to something more sinister, like a tumor or infection.
If you have significant pain when you do things you normally do, like exercise or work, make sure you start to consider a treatment for your pains.

What is the meaning of “Tech Neck”?
“Tech neck,”it’s the act of stressing muscles while using phones, tablets, and computers, resulting in neck and shoulder pain, stiffness, and soreness. It is a problem that’s getting worse.
When you’re working on a computer or looking down at your phone, the muscles in the back of the neck have to contract to hold your head up. The more you look down, the more the muscles have to work to keep your head up. These muscles can get overly tired and sore from looking down permanently.
This leads to different symptoms like headaches, stiff necks, neck spasms, and pain between your shoulder blades are common complaints. Some people say they have a hard time looking up after looking down for a long time. In severe situations you could get numbness or tingling or weakness that goes down into your arms because of a pinched nerve in your neck.
