Chiropractor, Posture and Computer Skills in Paris 2nd Arrondissement

Prolonged computer work is now the leading cause of musculoskeletal disorders among working adults. Extended sitting, poorly positioned screens, and unsuitable mice and keyboards: these daily habits cause neck, back, and upper limb pain that can become chronic without proper treatment.

As a chiropractor in Paris's 2nd arrondissement, Sophie Baltaci works daily with professionals suffering from pain related to their computer workstations. Through an approach combining targeted chiropractic adjustments and personalized ergonomic advice, we treat the cause of your pain, not just the symptoms.

Our office, located in the heart of Paris near the Opera, is easily accessible for professionals in the Bourse district, the Grands Boulevards and throughout central Paris.

Common problems related to working on a computer

Neck pain and cervicalgia

The forward head posture in front of the screen ("text neck") overloads the cervical muscles. Each centimeter of forward head projection adds approximately 5 kg of pressure to the cervical spine.

Thoracic kyphosis (hunched back)

Rounded shoulders and a rounded back compress the intervertebral discs and restrict breathing capacity. This posture creates a muscular imbalance between shortened pectoral muscles and weakened back muscles.

Lower back pain and backache

Prolonged sitting increases pressure on the lumbar discs by 40% compared to standing. Without proper lumbar support, the pain becomes chronic.

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Intensive use of the keyboard and mouse can compress the median nerve in the wrist. Tingling, numbness, and weakness in the hand are warning signs.

Tension headaches

Neck strain related to posture in front of the screen causes frequent headaches, often felt as a vice around the head or pressure behind the eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions — Posture and Computers

When should I consult a chiropractor for computer-related pain?

Consult a doctor as soon as you experience neck or back pain, or recurring headaches related to working at a computer. The earlier you seek treatment, the faster and more effective the postural correction will be. Don't wait until the pain becomes chronic.

How many sessions are needed to correct bad posture?

Generally, a significant improvement is felt after 3 to 5 sessions. A complete treatment plan for lasting postural correction usually extends over 6 to 12 sessions, spaced progressively further apart, accompanied by exercises to be done at home.

Can chiropractic treat carpal tunnel syndrome?

Yes, chiropractic care can relieve carpal tunnel symptoms by working on the joints of the wrist, elbow, and cervical spine. The median nerve can be compressed at several levels, and a comprehensive adjustment often provides noticeable improvement without surgery.

Does my health insurance cover consultations for posture problems?

Most health insurance plans reimburse between 1 and 6 chiropractic sessions per year. We provide a detailed invoice to facilitate your reimbursement. Check with your insurance provider to find out your exact coverage.

What exercises can I do at the office to prevent pain?

We recommend exercises to strengthen postural muscles (lower trapezius, rhomboids), stretches for the pectoral and cervical muscles, and active breaks every 30 minutes. Your chiropractor will provide you with a personalized program.

Does teleworking worsen posture problems?

Yes, remote work has increased consultations for postural pain by 30% since 2020. Improvised workstations (sofa, kitchen table) are often unsuitable. We can advise you on the ergonomic design of your home workspace.
