New York City 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 affects our experience of pain and often prompts times of back pain and neck pain and back-related and neck-related pain. Rosenberg Wellness Center is ready to help squash the power of work-related stress whenever possible. New York City back pain and neck pain patients bring everything – including their stress – with them to Rosenberg Wellness Center. You can, too! Together, we will deal with work-stress and back and neck pain.
WORK-RELATED STRESS
Work-related stress messes with us. It reveals itself through pain. None of us is immune to stress, not even a kid! A kid’s work 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 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 work-related stress. 40% reported musculoskeletal symptoms with back pain being the most noted. More stress correlated with 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 translated into higher psychological demands for them. (3) Researchers found that psychological factors and fear-avoidance behaviors caused 11.8% of nursing care facility workers’ stating that chronic low back pain interfered with their work. (4) It is a rare person whose job is pure joy and stress-free. The rest of us find ways to manage. Your New York City chiropractor is here for you.
