Eliminate the Troublesome Back Pain and Eye Strain Linked to Extensive Computer Use

 Do you recall the old proverb about how computing would improve our lives? We would have more free time and live healthier, happier lives. The truth is that computers make information processing lightning quick. The computer and the Internet have introduced into our lives so much more information to process and so many more distractions. The conclusion? Today, we spend more time operating a computer (for pleasure and profit) than on any other solitary activity, with the possible exception of sleeping. And if you're a heavy computer user like me, sleep occasionally takes a back position to computer use. There are health risks associated with prolonged computer use. I have personally experienced back and shoulder pain, eye strain, and finger paralysis. Even stiff joints and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome have plagued me. None of this was entertaining. But I have learned a few things of sufficient importance to share with you today. Here are some immediate steps you can take to reduce or eli...

Eliminate Troubling Back Pain and Eye Strain Associated With Heavy Computer Use


The conclusion? Today, we spend more time operating a computer (for pleasure and profit) than on any other solitary activity, with the possible exception of sleeping. And if you're a heavy computer user like me, sleep occasionally takes a back position to computer use.


There are health risks associated with prolonged computer use. I have personally experienced back and shoulder pain, eye strain, and finger paralysis. Even stiff joints and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome have plagued me. None of this was entertaining.


But I have learned a few things of sufficient importance to share with you today. Here are some immediate steps you can take to reduce or eliminate tension on your body while using a computer.


Neutral Body Alignment


Consider a comfortable working posture in which all of your joints are aligned naturally, from head to toe. This method of neutral positioning reduces the tension and strain on your muscles, tendons, and skeleton, thereby lowering your risk of musculoskeletal disorder (MSD).


Advice on Your Body Posture


Your hands, wrists, and forearms should be aligned, straight, and nearly parallel to the ground.


Your head and thorax should be aligned, with your head slightly tipped forward, balanced, and facing forward.


Shoulders should be relaxed and upper limbs should hang naturally at the sides of the body.


Your elbows should be between 90 and 110 degrees bent and near to your body.


Your feet should either be supported by a footrest or laid out on the floor.


Ensure that your lower back is adequately supported while leaning back or seated in a vertical position.


The seat should provide support for your hips and glutes.


Your knees and pelvis should be nearly at the same level as your feet and slightly forward.


Brief Advice - Your Workplace


Adjust your seat and backrest on a regular basis.


Stretch your fingers, hands, limbs, and torso periodically.


To avoid any positional discomforts, your keyboard, monitor, and body should be aligned in a straight line.


Never adjust your chair so that you are gazing up at the screen.


Your workstation should be at a comfortable height and have sufficient space for your equipment and daily tasks.


Your chair should provide adequate back support and be height-adjustable.


The forearm rests on your keyboard and the mouse mat should be of high quality.


The placement of a document holder at the height of your monitor will alleviate neck strain.
