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 job is being a kid and attending school on the journey to adulthood. Along the way, kids get 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, uneasy relationships, extreme academic pressures, and disappointing 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 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 translated into higher psychological demands for them. (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 interfered with their work. (4) It’s a rare person whose job is pure joy and stress-free. The rest of us find ways to cope. Your Baton Rouge chiropractor is by your side.
