From firefighters to nurses,
from children to older folks - and all of us in between - work-related
stress is stressful. It influences our experience of
pain and often triggers bouts of back
pain and neck pain and back-related and neck-related pain. Spine & Sports Rehab Center is here
to help squash the power of work-related stress as
much as possible. Baton Rouge back pain and neck pain
patients bring everything – including their stress – with them to
Spine & Sports Rehab Center. You can, too! Together, we’ll manage
work-stress and back and neck pain.
WORK-RELATED STRESS
Work-related stress messes with us. It reveals itself 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 way to adulthood. Along the way, kids experience
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 unsatisfactory
school lives may all set college students up
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 mentioned.
More stress correlated with 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
caused 11.8% of nursing care facility workers’ reporting
that chronic low back pain interfered with 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 Baton Rouge
chiropractor is here for you.
