The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way people interact with one another. The way that the working class reports to their jobs and spends their free time has significantly impacted human health as a whole. Many Americans now work, socialize, and attend classes from home, and, due to these changes, health issues brought on by a sedentary lifestyle are becoming more concerning than they were in pre-pandemic times.
Sitting for a prolonged period of time increases stress on the back and neck, which understandably leads to added pressure on the spine and painful musculoskeletal conditions. Partially due to COVID-19 keeping Americans homebound, and partially due to musculoskeletal pain brought on by sitting more often, obesity levels have increased in developed nations like the United Kingdom and United States. While obesity is a health concern on its own, it can also add to the severity of musculoskeletal conditions and contribute to potentially fatal complications if a person contracts COVID-19. In fact, a report in The Times UK stated that thousands of COVID-19 deaths could have been avoided if measures were taken to combat widespread obesity. The US is unfortunately comparable with the UK’s obesity rates as one of the highest in the developed world.
Pairing lack of exercise with decreased exposure to the sun and fresh air may be a recipe for disaster. Isolation is hard on the immune system. With the addition of back pain and neck pain, inflammation can further impact the body’s immune response negatively. Fortunately, American home-based workers and students can benefit from participating in long-term wellness programs. By visiting a chiropractic professional for routine adjustments, nutritional counseling, and exercise advice, individuals can make positive changes to their lives even when staying home. Along with chiropractic care, people who find that they’re sitting more often can seek information about how to properly sit, what sort of ergonomic furniture to use, and how often to stretch or walk around in order to avoid spinal stress.
At the Charleston Pain Relief Center in North Charleston, SC, Dr. Angela Tharnish and her chiropractic team help patients combat back and neck conditions, improve their dietary behaviors, get necessary exercise, and balance the stresses of the ‘new normal’. Their team offer a long-term wellness program to help prevent musculoskeletal and nutritional issues before they arise. The COVID-19 pandemic has implemented significant changes in the way we live our lives, and due to the fact that change can be complicated to manage alone, it’s beneficial to seek wellness services from a local, reputable office.
