As you do your work, you will encounter several scenarios that might cause an injury. These work injuries can lower your productivity, reduce your income, and affect your quality of life. To minimize these effects, it's essential to seek treatment from a chiropractor as soon as you notice you have work-related pain or injury. Whole Health Chiropractic Center has been helping residents of Issaquah deal with work-related pains. Here are some common work-related pains that warrant a visit with our chiropractors.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

This work-related pain is caused by repetitive movements for extended periods at frequent intervals. Its symptoms are numbness accompanied by pain in the affected area. You can experience carpal tunnel syndrome even if your work doesn't involve a lot of physical effort. For instance, if you work on a computer, you might experience wrist pain if you don't have the proper ergonomics for typing.

Lower Back Pain

Lifting heavy weights without a back brace and sitting for long durations can lead to pain in your lower back. You can prevent lower back pain by using lumbar support pillows if you plan to sit for a long time, whether when driving long distances or at your desk. You should also stretch before starting work and roughly after every 30 minutes when sitting for long periods.

Neck Stress

Neck pain typically comes about if you spend a lot of time looking down at electronic devices or documentation while at work. You should take time to look up and around regularly if your job involves a lot of looking down to prevent neck stress. Spinal adjustments and temperature therapy by a chiropractor can help alleviate your neck pain.

Using Poor Work Ergonomics

You are bound to experience a variety of pains and aches in your body if you utilize poor work ergonomics. Make sure you use proper tools and furniture at work to avoid these issues.
