Largo Stress and Its Contribution to Back Pain
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. Hollstrom & Associates Inc is here to help squash the impact of work-related stress whenever possible. Largo back pain and neck pain patients bring everything – including their stress – with them to Hollstrom & Associates Inc. You can, too! Together, we’ll deal with 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 job 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 peers and news and learning issues get to them. Adolescents get low back pain, too. Depression, anxiety, coercion, uncomfortable relationships, extreme academic pressures, and disappointing school lives may all put college students at risk for chronic low back pain. (1) 11% of firefighters reported moderate to extremely severe stress on the job. 40% reported musculoskeletal symptoms with back pain being the most mentioned. More stress is linked to more such symptoms. (2) Trash collectors said they had 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 disrupted their work. (4) It is a rare person whose job is pure joy and stress-free. The rest of us find ways to cope. Your Largo chiropractor is here for you.
