From nurses to firefighters,
from children to older folks - and all of us in between - work-related
stress is stressful. It influences our sense of
pain and often prompts bouts of back
pain and neck pain and back-related and neck-related pain. Paramus Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center is ready
to help squash the impact of work-related stress as
much as possible. Paramus back pain and neck pain
patients bring everything – including their stress – with them to
Paramus Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center. 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 journey to adulthood. Along the way, kids have
job-related stress. The pressures of grades and peers and news
and learning problems get to them. Adolescents get low back pain, too. Depression, anxiety, coercion, uncomfortable
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 stress on the job. 40% described
musculoskeletal symptoms with back pain being the most noted.
More stress is linked to more such symptoms. (2)
Trash collectors said they had back pain issues – upper back
pain 89%, shoulder pain 81%, wrist/hand pain 79%, neck pain 68% - which translated
into higher psychological demands for them. (3) Researchers
found that psychological factors and fear-avoidance behaviors
caused 11.8% of nursing care facility workers’ stating
that chronic low back pain disrupted their work. (4) It
is a rare person whose job is pure joy
and stress-free. The rest of us find ways to manage. Your Paramus
chiropractor is by your side.
CHIROPRACTIC FOR THE STRESSED
Chiropractors like yours at Paramus Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center see stressed-out
patients. One study found that more than 30% of
chiropractic patients described themselves as moderately
to severely stressed. Over 50% felt stress had a moderate or greater effect on their current pain. 71% said
that it would be beneficial if their chiropractic care had
some stress-coping strategies. 44% were interested in participating
in a course to enhance their stress
management skills. (5) Chiropractic care is offered to all,
regardless of age or profession. Your Paramus chiropractor is prepared
to diagnose the physical cause of back pain and neck pain and to correlate any
work-related stress that may be contributing to your Paramus
back pain and neck pain. The discussion of how to better cope with stress via lifestyle modifications,
exercise, etc., helps many Paramus back pain and neck pain patients improve
with the Paramus chiropractic treatment plan.
