Read This if You Work At a Desk! - by Dr. Jeff Langmaid Brandon, FL Chiropractor

     At the end of your workday do you look like the picture on the left or on the right?  Postural distortions can add stress to the muscles in your mid-upper back and neck.  Over time, this can lead to pain between the should blades, in the shoulders, neck, and even headaches.  As months become years become decades this has the potential to create a fertile ground for degenerative changes.  Take a few moments today and evaluate your work station.  It could literally change your life.

     If you could use some assitance with ergonomics, please reach out to me at JLangmaid@floridaortho.com  I have provided free, short ergonomic workshops at many local businesses.
