Williamson 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. Apple Country Chiropractic is ready to help suppress the power of work-related stress as much as possible. Williamson back pain and neck pain patients carry everything – including their stress – with them to Apple Country Chiropractic. You can, too! Together, we will handle work-stress and back and neck pain.
WORK-RELATED STRESS
Work-related stress messes with us. It reveals itself via pain. None of us is resistant to stress, not even a kid! A kid’s work is being a kid and attending school on the way 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, uncomfortable 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 contributed to 11.8% of nursing care facility workers’ stating 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 Williamson chiropractor is by your side.
