Behind the Scenes: The Creation of Our New Website

If you’re new to Back Care Online, one of the first things that might have struck you is just how clear, easy to use and attractive our website is. We’re very proud of it! But it didn’t always look quite this good.

When we first set up shop in 2020, we did so with a more generic-looking site. It served its purpose and got us off the ground, but we were soon ready for something a little more ‘us’ - and there were a number of shortcomings with the old site that needed addressing.

Enter our digital marketing agency of choice, Echo Web Solutions.

Ergonomic Tips for Going Back to the Office

From 2018 to 2019, there were over 69,000 non-fatal injuries in British workplaces.

When you think of workplace injuries, you probably think of slips and falls. But did you know you can sustain injuries that are quite serious from having the wrong desk setup?

Whilst many of us have been working from home, we’ve started to see an increasing number of businesses and organisations return to the office. If you’re worried about handling your back pain after you’ve returned to work, here are some of Back Care Online’s ergonomic tips so you can prevent painful injuries.

How a Self-Adjusting Orthopaedic Pillow Can Help You Sleep

The prevalence of neck pain in the UK has increased over the past decades. Its causes range from arthritis and spinal stenosis to injuries. Certain lifestyle factors may lead to neck pain too.

Your sleeping position is perhaps one of the most important factors affecting the spine. Harvard Health recommends sleeping either on your back or on your side to prevent neck pain and keep it from recurring.

Benefits of Orthopedic Mattresses for Back Pain

About one-third of British adults experience low back pain each year. This condition is the largest single cause of disability in the United Kingdom. If left unaddressed, it can become chronic and affect your quality of life.

The exact cause of back pain is not always known. Sometimes, this problem is due to spine disorders or sports injuries. Other times, it results from prolonged sitting or bad posture.

How to Safely Use a Teeter Inversion Table

Each year, lower back pain affects about one-third of adults in the UK. Over 60% still have pain one year later.

Depending on the cause, this condition may become chronic and affect your quality of life. Degenerative disc disease, lumbar stenosis, and herniated discs are all major contributing factors to chronic back pain.

One way to address these issues is to use a Teeter inversion table. This ergonomic device decompresses your spine and helps restore the normal space between vertebrae. Over time, it may reduce the need for spinal surgery.
