Especially your neck.\u00a0Let\u2019s face it; if your neck has a subluxation which impairs your spinal cord, that subluxation can easily affect any part of your entire body.\u00a0After you\u2019ve been checked and adjusted, you need to think about getting a head set.\u00a0When your job involves fairly frequent or fairly long telephone use, especially while doing anything else, it is important that your spine be in adjustment and stay that way.\u00a0Which is why I advised anyone working this way to get a head set, so that you do not cause those subluxations to re-occur too quickly.<\/p>\n<p>I have found that more and more employers are willing to make this investment for their employees; however it seems that you need to ask before they will go out and get the headset for you.\u00a0So, if you work on the telephone much at all, ask.\u00a0Ask your employer to invest in your ability to be at work every day by getting you a headset.\u00a0If your employer won\u2019t make this investment in you, believe me, it may be well worth the cost to you to get a headset yourself even if you have to spend your own money.\u00a0After all, it is your own neck that you will be saving!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stewartfamilychiro.com\/index.php\/articles-and-information\/\">Click Here to Return to Articles and Information<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click Here to Return to Articles and Information At this point, I think that we have all come to realize that driving with a hand held cell phone is dangerous.\u00a0What many folks may not realize, though, is that working with a hand held telephone is also dangerous.\u00a0Think about how often at work you are on &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/stewartfamilychiro.com\/index.php\/articles-and-information\/telephone-headsets\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Telephone Headsets<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":17,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-959","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stewartfamilychiro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/959"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stewartfamilychiro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stewartfamilychiro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stewartfamilychiro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stewartfamilychiro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=959"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/stewartfamilychiro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/959\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1252,"href":"https:\/\/stewartfamilychiro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/959\/revisions\/1252"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stewartfamilychiro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/17"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stewartfamilychiro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
