Proper Workplace Ergonomics

Proper workplace ergonomics makes good sense. Workers who work in a comfortable environment are more productive. At Hull Chiropractic in Indianapolis, we believe in making sure you live your healthiest life. We provide the knowledge and chiropractic services you need to help you get there. Let’s look at how proper work ergonomics can prevent common work-related pains.

Get a Supportive Chair

Your chair is one of the most important parts of your ergonomic workplace. It needs to be the right height to allow you to rest your feet flat on the floor and your thighs to be horizontal. It should provide proper support for your back and arms. The more adjustable your chair is the more likely it is to keep you pain-free.

Correct Desk Height

Your desk needs to be the right height to allow you to work without constantly stretching to reach things or to see your monitor. Having a desk with an adjustable height provides much more comfort and flexibility.

Correct Positioning of the Computer Screen

Your screen should be about 20 inches away from you or arm's length. Place your screen so it is at eye level or below. The screen should also be tilted to an angle from 10 to 20-degrees. This will help you avoid neck pain.

Desk Organization

Place things on your desk, so you don't have to stretch from the waist to reach the items you use most often. You should avoid resting your phone on your shoulder. Try to wear headphones or use a speakerphone to avoid painful shoulders and neck issues.
