Montreal 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 triggers bouts of back pain and neck pain and back-related and neck-related pain. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is here to help squash the impact of work-related stress whenever possible. Montreal back pain and neck pain patients bring everything – including their stress – with them to Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic. You can, too! Together, we’ll 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 resistant to stress, not even a kid! A kid’s job is being a kid and attending school on the path 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, 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 work-related stress. 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 translated into higher psychological demands for them. (3) Researchers discovered 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 is an unusual person whose job is pure happiness and stress-free. The rest of us find ways to cope. Your Montreal chiropractor is here for you.
