Manchester Stress and Its Contribution to Back Pain
From firefighters to nurses, from kids to older folks - and all of us in between - work-related stress is stressful. It influences our sense of pain and often elicits bouts of back pain and neck pain and back-related and neck-related pain. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is here to help squash the power of work-related stress whenever possible. Manchester back pain and neck pain patients bring everything – including their stress – with them to Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries. You can, too! Together, we will manage 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 job is being a kid and attending 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 set college students up 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 noted. 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 discovered that psychological factors and fear-avoidance behaviors caused 11.8% of nursing care facility workers’ reporting that chronic low back pain disrupted their work. (4) It is an unusual person whose job is pure happiness and stress-free. The rest of us find ways to manage. Your Manchester chiropractor is by your side.
