Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is ready to help suppress the impact of work-related stress as much as possible. Carrolltown back pain and neck pain patients carry everything – including their stress – with them to Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation. You can, too! Together, we will handle work-stress and back and neck pain.
WORK-RELATED STRESS
Work-related stress messes with us. It gets our attention through pain. None of us is immune to stress, not even a kid! A kid’s work is being a kid and going to school on the path to adulthood. Along the way, kids get job-related stress. The pressures of grades and friends and news and learning problems get to them. Adolescents get low back pain, too. Depression, anxiety, coercion, uneasy relationships, extreme academic pressures, and disappointing school lives may all put college students at risk for chronic low back pain. (1) 11% of firefighters reported moderate to extremely severe work-related stress. 40% reported musculoskeletal symptoms with back pain being the most mentioned. More stress related to more such symptoms. (2) Trash collectors reported back pain issues – upper back pain 89%, shoulder pain 81%, wrist/hand pain 79%, neck pain 68% - which stressed them out more. (3) Researchers found that psychological factors and fear-avoidance behaviors contributed to 11.8% of nursing care facility workers’ stating that chronic low back pain disrupted their work. (4) It’s an unusual person whose job is pure happiness and stress-free. The rest of us find ways to cope. Your Carrolltown chiropractor is by your side.
