Is Your Job a Pain?

Neck and low back pain, previously associated primarily with jobs involving physical labor, is now striking an increasing number of white-collar workers. If you thought pain could only occur with heavy lifting, turning, bending and repetitive motions, you may be surprised to learn that back pain is becoming a plague among those who lift nothing heavier than a stapler.

While workplace design and employee fitness are factors in office workers developing neck and back injuries, an overlooked element is the psychosocial factor: that is, how positive a person's mental outlook is, and especially how much they like their career.

Instead of taking drugs to reduce the symptoms of neck and back pain, more and more recommendations involve reducing the amount of stress and taking steps to increase job satisfaction.

Experts say that up to 80 percent of adults will seek treatment for work-related neck or back pain at some point in their career. Getting to the underlying cause of the pain is the key to helping your body heal itself naturally!

How do you know when you're healthy?
Ask most Louisville residents this simple question and you're likely to hear, "When you feel good" or "When you're at your proper weight for your height" or "When you have lots of energy and vitality." Great answers. But our chiropractic patients know that true health is when your body is working as it was designed. True health is how you function, not how you feel.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
