💻 Spend hours on a computer for work or study?

The prevalence of neck pain is higher among office workers than in the general community, with studies suggesting 70% of desk workers report neck pain.

If you're a desk worker, you could be at risk of developing Tech Neck - a growing spinal health concern caused by poor posture and prolonged screen time.

Common symptoms include:
⚠️ Headaches
⚠️ Neck, shoulder, and upper back pain
⚠️ Postural changes and spinal curvature (especially in older adults)

Adjust your thinking: Prevention is the best protection:
✅ Maintain an upright, relaxed posture
✅ Take regular movement and stretching breaks
✅ Set your screen at eye level
✅ Use an ergonomic chair (knees slightly lower than hips)
✅ Consider a sit-stand desk to reduce spinal strain

E324 National WorkSpace Week (20-26 October 2025) is dedicated to the prevention and early intervention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), Australia’s most common workplace injury which also accounts for the majority (57%) of workers’ compensation claims for serious injuries. SafeWork NSW reports the cost for serious WMSD claims requiring one or more weeks absence, averaged almost $65k per claim between 2018-2023.

WorkSpace Week aligns with Safe Work Australia’s ‘Australian Work Health and Safety (WHS) Strategy 2023–2033’ developed to create safe and healthy workspaces for everybody and to lessen the long-term impact on workers, employers, and the economy by improving the spinal health and wellbeing of all workers vulnerable to work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

E275 Do you know the modifiable risk factors that trigger WMSDs?

Poorly executed lifting, pushing, pulling or bending, using computers in non-ergonomic workspaces (in an office or at home), poor posture, driving and repetitive strain injuries, and mental stress are the leading activities which can trigger work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

ACA chiropractors provide holistic healthcare and guidance on how to prevent work-related back and neck injuries.
