When your monitor is too low, or your chair isn't the right fit, your body has to overcompensate - leading to neck tension, back pain and headaches.

From the perfect monitor height to the ideal angle for your elbows, there are things you can do to prevent issues at work.

Whether you work at a desk for five days or one day a week, it’s important to set up your workstation ergonomically, and to take breaks whenever you can. Not only will this increase your comfort, it will also prevent strains and injuries to your neck, shoulders, wrists and lower back.

To find out more, check out our website for the blog on setting up your workspace ergonomically at https://osteo.co.nz/office-set-up/ or you can find advice on sit or stand desks at https://osteo.co.nz/sit-or-stand-whats-best/.

Do you know the difference between acute pain and chronic pain?

Acute pain usually refers to a fresh injury, and this phase can last around 3 to 6 months.

Chronic pain refers to pain that has lasted longer than the expected time frame for healing. When an issue does not resolve as expected and persists longer than it should, it can become chronic pain.

Osteopaths deal with both acute and chronic pain. Osteopathic treatment may not only help in managing recent injuries but also those ongoing niggles that haven't repaired.

Do you experience shooting pain down your leg, difficulty sitting or walking, or tingling and numbness? These can be signs of sciatica, a condition that can significantly affect your daily comfort and mobility.

Osteopathy aims to not only relieve your current discomfort but to restore optimal function and build long-term resilience.

We begin with a thorough assessment of your symptoms, posture, and lifestyle habits to understand the root cause of your disc issue. If needed, we may recommend X-rays or MRIs for a clearer view of your spinal health.
