Understanding Office and Desk Back Pain
Why Desk Work Causes Back and Neck Pain
The spine is designed to move. Long periods in one position stiffen joints, tighten hip and chest muscles and weaken the muscles that support good posture. Poor screen height and an unsupported chair add to the load.
Stress, lack of breaks and little exercise make symptoms worse. Chiropractic care may help to ease stiffness and tension, while changes to your work set-up and a simple movement routine reduce the chance of it coming back.
Clear, personalised care for office and desk back pain
Every desk-related pain consultation starts with listening and a thorough assessment of your spine, posture and work set-up, followed by clear advice on your next steps.

How We Help
How Can a Chiropractor Help With Office and Desk Back Pain?
I take a detailed history and examine your spine, shoulders and hips. Treatment may include joint mobilisation or adjustment, soft tissue work and a short exercise programme that you can do at your desk or at home.
I also give practical advice on chair, screen and keyboard position, standing breaks and sleep. If your symptoms suggest something other than desk strain, I will explain and refer you if needed.
Treatment is non-surgical and drug-free, and your response is reviewed as we go. If your symptoms need further investigation, Dr Norgaard will refer you.

Office and Desk Back Pain Symptoms
Aches and Stiffness After Sitting All Day
Typical symptoms are a stiff, aching lower back that eases when you move, tight shoulders, a sore neck, headaches by mid-afternoon and numbness or tingling in the hands.
Standing or walking for a couple of minutes every half hour, setting the screen at eye level and keeping your feet flat on the floor can help while you are being assessed. If you notice any of the warning signs below, seek emergency help. See also headache care.
Your Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions About Office and Desk Back Pain
Can a chiropractor help with back pain from sitting?
Yes. Chiropractic care can ease stiffness and tension from prolonged sitting and is combined with exercises and workstation advice.
What is the best sitting position?
There is no single perfect posture. Changing position often and keeping the screen at eye level and feet supported usually helps more than holding one position.
Do standing desks help?
They can, but standing all day also causes aches. Alternating sitting, standing and walking is best.
Can desk work cause headaches?
Neck and shoulder tension from screen work can contribute to tension-type headaches. See our headache page.
Can you see me during my working day?
Appointments run from 8am to 7pm on weekdays, so many people book before or after work.
What happens at a first office and desk back pain appointment?
Dr Norgaard takes a detailed history, examines you, explains what she finds and discusses a personalised plan that may include hands-on treatment, exercises and advice. The first visit lasts 45 to 60 minutes. See your first visit.
How many sessions will I need for office and desk back pain?
This depends on your symptoms, how long you have had them and how you respond to care. Dr Norgaard explains what to expect after your assessment and reviews your progress as you go.
How much does a chiropractor cost in London?
An initial consultation of 45 to 60 minutes costs £160 and follow-up sessions of 20 to 30 minutes cost £90. You receive a receipt after every visit. See our chiropractor prices and book directly, with no GP referral needed.
