These last few weeks we’ve seen a huge uptick of people getting hurt from doing nothing. The problem is, you’re doing nothing, wrong. Not that you’re not committing a faux pas, your faux pas-ing wrongly. That made much more sense saying it, but you know what I mean.
Ergonomics out the window
With most people working and studying from home, we’ve seemed to have thrown ergonomics out the window. Laptops are erroneously named. They’re not for laps. They’re not for laying in bed, on the trampoline, in the front yard etc. etc. etc. They’re made for desks or the kitchen table with proper chair and positioning in a pinch. While they may HAVE been designed for lap use, that’s just plain wrong. Same to be said for books and phones and tablets.
Get up and Move
Now on to nothing. For those who aren’t able to work from home, just sitting around doing nothing isn’t the answer. As anyone with children under the ‘sleep & Netflix, all day’ demo knows; 3-year-old’s don’t like not moving. Neither does your body. Move. Don’t have to go anywhere, but don’t sit there.
Mask injuries; I’m waiting for them. I’ve been straining my neck to keep it from falling below my nose. That and my depth perception is messed up with all this action in my periphery. I’m sure I’ll fall soon; you probably will too. I know I’ll get adjusted after, you should too.
We’re still here
And so yes, we’re still here. As per the Executive Order, a visit is essential if it would keep you from visiting a medical facility where other sick people would be (we aren’t a sick care operation), you’d go to a pharmacy, not coming would be detrimental to your health and well-being; or you’re in pain. Also, tele-health is available for those not venturing out.

This is kid #3 she is bored and tired of being cooped up inside, so she decided to move her desk to the trampoline.
While we are not seeing all our patients there are things we can do to help.
In-office: We are seeing acute cases. If you are hurt and would like to come in we can make that happen. We are limiting numbers and the waiting room has been moved to your car.
Telehealth: We can provide telehealth or video visits. While we can not do a chiropractic adjustment, we can assess your condition, offer advice, and even do a PT visit. This is a covered service from your insurance and self-pay options are available.
Activity: Too much or too little. Spring is a time where many people reinjure themselves by exercising too much too soon or cleaning out their garage. So please get out and do things but be careful about getting hurt. However, it’s a double-edged sword. What I mean by that is if you are now working from home or less active than normal sitting causes injuries too.
