Office workers who often sit in front of computers usually feel that their shoulders are both sore and painful. In fact, for most people, shoulder pain is actually closely related to different postures. So, what factors are related to shoulder pain for office workers?Let’s take a look at the factors that can cause shoulder pain together.

Long-term maintaining a bad sitting posture is due to the fact that the position of your computer is too high, the chair is too low, or the office chair is too soft, or it is due to sitting for too long, which may cause shoulder pain. Therefore, to solve the problem of shoulder pain, it is necessary to adjust the position of the computer. It should be placed as close to the line of sight as possible, neither to the left nor to the right, so that the position of the monitor is level with the line of sight, or slightly higher. At the same time, the chair should be selected with a certain curve. If you have to sit for a long time every day, it is recommended to use the old-style wooden chair, which has a curve that is more compatible with the human body’s curve, so it can reduce the chance of lumbar pain. The so-called soft office chair may only make you feel comfortable for a while, but it will become uncomfortable to sit for a long time.

Of course, in addition to the unsuitable office chair and desk, the most important cause of shoulder pain is the long working hours. You may sit for hours while working on a plan, forget to eat while developing a new software, or even not take a break for several hours while playing games. This is also an important cause of shoulder pain. Therefore, adjusting your ‘office time’ is crucial. You can set a rule for yourself to get up and move around every hour, drink a cup of water, stretch, or go to the bathroom, then walk a few steps before resuming work, or you can install a small software on your computer to remind you to take a break for a while.

Of course, in real life, it is not only long-term bad posture, shoulder joint, or cervical spondylosis that can cause shoulder pain. Daily stiff neck, or the ’50-year-old shoulder’ of the middle-aged and elderly people can also cause shoulder pain. In clinical practice, there are people who have problems with the heart, such as angina, myocardial infarction, or diseases such as gallstones, such as cholecystitis, which may also cause the left shoulder or right shoulder of the human body to feel sore due to the reflex effect. It can be said that there are many causes of shoulder pain in the human body, so it is absolutely necessary not to ignore it and to treat it in a timely manner.

In fact, the neck and lumbar spine are the center of the human central nervous system. If any part has a problem, it may cause shoulder pain. Therefore, in daily life, in addition to doing a good job of taking care of the shoulders, such as avoiding catching a cold and maintaining bad posture for a long time, it is also necessary to do appropriate shoulder health exercises, such as lifting hands to strike the armpit and shoulders, which are also good methods to prevent shoulder strain and reduce shoulder pain.

Finally, remind everyone that whether it is for those who sit for a long time or for those who use physical strength for a long time, especially for those who have to use their shoulders for a long time, if there is a problem of shoulder pain in daily life, you can choose traditional Chinese medicine massage to relieve it, or avoid the causes of shoulder pain.
