  The lifetime prevalence of back pain in industrialized countries is between 60-70%. There is a reason this rate has increased with technology. Keyboard injuries are a growing problem in the digital age, but they don?t get nearly as much attention as they should. As more people work sedentary jobs at a computer, the prevalence of these types of injuries is going to continue to increase. In fact, over half of all back pain problems are from people working in office settings or computers. Keyboard injuries can manifest in a number of different ways. Tendinitis is one of the ailments that people that spend their lives working on computers complain about. However, back problems are probably the most common issue they suffer from. If these types of injuries are left unchecked for too long, they can lead to chronic pain. You might face expensive surgery and lots of other problems down the road. Fortunately, there are a lot of ways that you can prevent these problems. Here are some preventive measures that you can take to prevent keyboard back injuries.

Find an alternative to sitting at your computer

When you have a job that involves typing or moving your mouse, it might seem like there is no other way to get around it. Fortunately, that is not necessarily the case. There are often other ways that you can get the job done. If you are looking for a standing desk, then these are some safe bets. There are a lot of benefits to using a standing desk. Standing desks allow you to assume a more natural upright position. There are a number of reasons that standing desks can be better for your back. This provides better support for your lumbar region, which reduces the risk of back problems. It also uses more energy to do your work standing up, which helps you sleep better at night. It also improves circulation, so blood does not pool in your back. If you are doing a job that requires a lot of typing, then you might also want to use a voice to text app with your mobile phone. I was suffering from chronic tendinitis and back pain before I started using one. After that, the problem almost entirely went away. Other people have experienced the same thing.

Consciously shift your body while keeping a good posture

There are a couple of mistakes that can cause back problems while working on a computer. The first is failing to keep a good posture. If you don?t keep your body upright with your spine inclined at a slightly less than 90° angle, your risk of suffering from back problems is going to increase significantly. The other mistake is not moving around enough. When you keep your body in the same position, blood is going to pool in your back. This can cause hypertension that leads to further back issues.

Perform exercises that keep your back strong

People with weaker backs are going to be at a higher risk of developing back pain. The most obvious solution is to engage in exercises that keep your back strong.

Don?t be shy about visiting a chiropractor when you start showing symptoms

Back pain is a problem that gradually worsens. You will be less likely to engage in exercises that will help rectify the problem if you are in pain. Also, you will be more likely to sit in a bad posture if you?re suffering from back pain. The solution is to start seeing a chiropractor right away. They can help provide the necessary relief.

Take the right steps to mitigate keyboard back injuries

Back pain problems are more common with people that spend their workweek at a computer. Fortunately, there are plenty of things that you can do to provide relief and keep the problems from escalating. These measures should make things much easier.
