Neck pain is a common problem with many possible causes. Poor posture, hunching over a computer, arthritis, whiplash, and muscle strain from simple things like reading in bed or grinding your teeth can all trigger neck pain. When your neck muscles become tired and strained, pain is usually the first symptom.
A Doctor of Chiropractic is highly trained to diagnose the causes of your neck pain and provide hands-on treatment.
If neck pain is affecting your ability to get through the day and keeping you away from your favourite activities, consider chiropractic care. A chiropractor will assess your symptoms, diagnose your condition, and recommend a treatment plan to put you on the road to recovery. Your chiropractor can also provide expert advice to help you prevent pain and injury from recurring.

Take a quick stretch break, or get up and move around. Try these stretches and remember these tips:
• Start each stretch from a neutral, aligned position using good posture
• Stretch only to the point of comfortable tension, then relax and hold
• Don’t bounce while stretching
• Stretch slowly and remember to breathe
• If you feel any pain, stop immediately and relax

Do you sit at a desk or computer for a good portion of the day? Sitting at your desk or computer for a lengthy period of time can lead to muscle tension, fatigue, and occasionally pain. Proper workspace set-up and ergonomics are important in avoiding pain while working at your desk or computer. Try moving and changing positions every 30-50 minutes.

Learning from home Tip #4: Stretch and Move
Physical activity is critical for children. Incorporate some physical exercise into the daily learning routine, and aim to take a break every 30 minutes to move.
Do some stretches, jumping jacks, or go for a quick 5-minute run in the backyard.
These breaks are also important to give your eyes a break to avoid eye strain. When viewing your mobile device, make sure to position it at eye level rather than stretching your neck forward to look down.
We hope these tips help you set up your workstation at home to make the most of your school day!

Learning from home Tip #3: Stand Up Desk
Sitting for too long is hard on your body, so alternate your posture by standing up. You can make a stand-up desk by finding a surface in your home that is the right height for your child when standing. Raise the screen to eye level using a box or books and place the keyboard and mouse on a lower surface to maintain a 90-degree bend in your elbow. Standing on a yoga mat or anti-stress mat can reduce strain on your legs and lower back.
It’s important to alternate your postures throughout the day.
