Ergonomics in the Workplace: Do Chiropractors Approve?
Every 8 out of 10 people have chronic back pain—back pain that flares up time and time again.
The stress built up in your lower back and neck is likely due to poor posture.
Fortunately, many Americans are aware of the need to correct their spinal alignment and seek a trusted chiropractor to help them do so.
You might also be entertaining the idea of investing in a few ergonomic products—such as standing desks or posture braces.
But do ergonomics in the workplace actually benefit you? Here are my thoughts on the topic…
The Primary Purpose of Ergonomics in the Workplace
Whenever you go to purchase a product for ergonomics in the workplace, you should first ask yourself this question: How would this product truly benefit me?
Let’s use posture braces, as an example. Anyone who purchases one is ultimately trying to find a quick way to correct their posture. However, the more effective route would be to schedule a chiropractor appointment to get a wider range of chiropractic services such as:
Dry needling
Cupping Care
Ultrasound
Orthotics
Manual Therapy
Kinesio Tape
Laser Therapy & more
In short, there are more natural ways to improve your posture than the “fix it quick” products on TV.

Do Chiropractors Approve of Posture Braces?
One of the most common questions I get is regarding posture braces. My patients always want to know if the braces really are as helpful as they claim.
Here’s what I tell everyone that asks: they’re good to start with, but they aren’t a long-term solution.
Remember, the goal isn’t just to improve your posture, but to keep it that way the rest of your days. Because of that, I’ll always advise that people invest in a trusted chiropractor—such as our Rangeline Chiropractic Doctors—to create a sustainable plan.
