St Peters 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 sense of pain and often elicits bouts of back pain and neck pain and back-related and neck-related pain. Old Mill Chiropractic is here to help squash the impact of work-related stress whenever possible. St Peters back pain and neck pain patients carry everything – including their stress – with them to Old Mill Chiropractic. You can, too! Together, we will manage 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 resistant to stress, not even a kid! A kid’s work is being a kid and attending school on the journey 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 find themselves with low back pain, too. Depression, anxiety, coercion, uneasy 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 is linked 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’ stating that chronic low back pain disrupted their work. (4) It is a rare person whose job is pure happiness and stress-free. The rest of us find ways to cope. Your St Peters chiropractor is here for you.
