Have you noticed that you feel more tired after work? Do you suffer from regular headaches that make it hard to enjoy your evenings? You may be experiencing the side effects of screen fatigue or computer vision syndrome, a condition associated with spending long hours staring at a monitor. Once you understand what screen fatigue is and how you can take steps to prevent it, you can start feeling better and more energized.

What Is Screen Fatigue?

Screen fatigue refers to the physical and mental exhaustion that arises from prolonged exposure to screens. This can happen when you spend long hours working at a desk, glued to your computer, or scrolling on your smartphone. If you feel tired during or after work, screen fatigue may be the reason why.

As we focus on our tasks, we tend to blink less often, leading to dry eyes and blurred vision. The blue light emitted by screens can also disrupt sleep patterns and increase feelings of stress.

Additionally, poor posture while sitting for extended periods contributes significantly to discomfort. Hunched shoulders or straining necks become common as we lean toward our devices. This poor alignment can strain the neck and shoulders, resulting in persistent neck pain.

Sitting for long periods with inadequate support also contributes to back pain. The muscles become tense as they try to compensate for poor posture, leading to stiffness and soreness.

Headaches are another common symptom associated with screen fatigue. Prolonged exposure to blue light from screens can disrupt sleep patterns and cause eye strain, both of which may trigger tension headaches or migraines.

Try Chiropractic to Naturally Treat Pain & Headaches

Chiropractic care offers effective relief from the side effects of screen fatigue. Regular adjustments can realign your spine, alleviating tension built up from hours spent hunched over a computer and acting as a natural form of treatment for headaches.

Regular adjustments can help naturally improve your posture. As posture improves, so do discomfort levels. A well-aligned spine reduces strain on muscles, helping to prevent neck and back pain that often accompanies long periods of screen use.

Beyond relieving pain, chiropractic treatment promotes overall wellness. It enhances circulation and boosts energy levels by ensuring your nervous system functions optimally. Increased energy can help combat feelings of tiredness after work.

"I've been with Healthy Life for many years. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The services offered are very beneficial to my wellness routine. I receive massages and adjustments regularly. They offer many packages and sales that makes it affordable for me. I have recently tried the hyperbaric chamber for both recovery and general health. This is has been really helpful since I exercise often and intensely. I have also noticed an improvement in my brain fog which comes from normal aging and day to day stress. Dr. Rob and Dr. Tina are very good chiropractors who make sure they are providing a complete wellness exam and service. I continue to maintain a healthy body and recover quickly from my day to day activities. Overall, I would recommend Healthy Life Chiropractic."

"I absolutely love Healthy Life! The staff is wonderful and helpful! The doctors are amazing! I hurt my back a few months ago exercising, and nothing seemed to help! I went in for a routine visit, and explained. I was consistent with my adjustments, muscle stim and massage and within a few weeks, I am back to exercising without pain! I am a Flight Attendant, so closing overhead bins and pushing a heavy cart are necessary for my job, so I appreciate them keeping my healthy and not missing work! My foot levelers are a game changer! The best investment!

My update yesterday validated what my body told me! I am back to almost 100% You will love them!"

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

- Erica Payne

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

- Cindy Chaisson

From supplements to oils and even honey can be purchased from your computer or smart phone. I look forward to a search option becoming available as there are so many products offered.”

–Vermillion Himes

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"
