Hey /g/,

What do I do about neck and back pain at work?

I'm usually sitting in front of a monitor for around nine hours a day at work. And it's killing my neck. I'm in constant pain and I'm so scared it's going to prevent me from working in the future and end my career in an instant.

I saw a doctor but he didn't tell me much beyond "maybe it's a spasm" and "have some painkillers", which obviously is not going to work in the long run.

Can you guys red pill me on proper health practices as a software developer?

I don't know about chiros. Aren't they based on pseudo-science and wacky theories? Can't they end up making it even worse?

maybe a chair with neck support?

the one I use at home is a full-blown office chair with a padded head rest for my neck and it does feel much better but my neck still aches a lot.

convincing my boss is probably going to be a pain though

im hitting the gym later tonight and hoping it can help me strengthen
out my back muscles eventually

Make sure you have an ergonomic setup.

If you're on the phone get a headset. Do some stretches, get out and take breaks as much as you can.

Maybe get a standup desk

visit your doctor, get some opioids, continue being physically inactive, become addicted, develop degenerative diseases, acquire medical debt, become depressed, get more drugs, die broke and sad

chiropractors are quacks

get a foam roller OP
>>
Stand-up desks are the best.
