Wrist and arm pain are common concerns for office workers. Long hours of typing, using a mouse, and maintaining a fixed posture can lead to repetitive strain on the joints, tendons, and nerves of the upper extremities. Tennis elbow, for example, occurs when the tendons on the outside of the elbow become irritated from repetitive motions like gripping a mouse or typing. Pain is your body’s way of signaling that something isn’t right – and it should never be ignored.

Taking steps to reduce strain is essential. An ergonomic workstation, regular movement breaks, and proper posture can significantly lower the risk of injury. Noticing early symptoms such as tingling, weakness, or persistent discomfort can also help prevent minor issues from developing into chronic conditions.

Muscle tightness often results from muscle imbalances, where some areas overwork to compensate for weaker, underused ones. Over time, this strain can lead to pain, poor posture, and limited mobility. Targeted strengthening exercises can help restore balance, reduce tension, and prevent chronic discomfort.

Incorporate these four simple movements into your routine:
• Glute bridges activate the glutes and hips, easing strain on the lower back from prolonged sitting.
• Wrist extensions are especially helpful for those doing repetitive desk work, relieving tightness in the forearms and wrists.
• Planks build core strength, which supports spinal alignment and helps reduce back and neck strain.
•Cat-Cow pose is a gentle mobility movement that improves flexibility through the spine and relieves upper back and shoulder tension.

These exercises require minimal equipment and time but when done on a regular basis, they can have lasting benefits for your spine and joint health. Start small and stay consistent.

Feeling stiff after hours at your desk? You’re not alone. Prolonged sitting can lead to joint stiffness, tight muscles, poor circulation, and increased strain on your spine. Over time, this can contribute to chronic back or neck pain and even impact your overall posture and mobility. That’s why it’s important to be proactive—your body wasn’t designed to stay still for hours on end.

Make it a habit to stand up, stretch, or take a short walk every 30 to 60 minutes. These quick breaks help keep your joints mobile, reduce pressure on your spine, and give your muscles the movement they need to stay healthy. Whether you’re in the office or working from home, small adjustments like this can make a big difference in preventing pain and supporting long-term spinal health.

Kyphoplasty is an advanced medical procedure designed to treat painful vertebral compression fractures, most commonly caused by osteoporosis. These fractures can lead to loss of height, a hunched posture, and chronic pain that limits daily activities. During the procedure, a small balloon is inserted into the collapsed vertebra to create space, which is then filled with bone cement. This helps stabilize the bone, relieve pain, and restore vertebral height in many cases.

Clinical studies have shown that kyphoplasty can provide significant and immediate pain relief, improve mobility, and reduce the need for long-term pain medications.

Please contact our office if you would like to learn more about Kyphoplastu! We would love to provide you with resources and assist you with scheduling an appointment to discuss if this therapy could be right for you.

Spring is here!
Take advantage of the beautiful weather by going on a walk. Walking is a great way to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, but it also has many benefits for the management of back and joint pain.

Walking is an easy way to incorporate exercise into your daily routine. This can help your back pain through strengthening of your core muscles, improved range of motion of your joints, and management of body weight. Additionally, exercise can stimulate the release of endorphins that function to improve mood and suppress pain signals.

Last, remember to get your steps in today. Spencer knows best!
