Surviving the Workstation!
“Surviving the Workstation” is a seminar that gives employees a sound understanding of how to reduce the risk of injury at work.
In my chiropractic practice, I treat people with a wide range of complaints that come from working at a desk. Many are upper cervical problems that cause shoulder pain and can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. Mid-back tension that when not addressed, may develop into a sharp, constant pain, and of course, numerous low back problems. The common denominator here is the employee’s workstation and how it adversely affects them. The human body is simply not designed for sitting at a desk eight to ten hours a day. It may seem obvious, but when I ask my patients if these conditions reduce their ability to work, each time the answer is “yes”.
There is a positive trend of having stations ergonomically designed to suit the needs of people in the work force. Yet even after these measures are implemented, workers are still getting repetitive stress injuries and other problems. The reason behind this is that people simply are not cognizant of proper body mechanics and some basic concepts to keep them healthy. Most people have little idea of how much their bodies are being compromised while they work.
My health talks directly deal with these issues. I explain the negative effects a desk job can have upon the body. Yet do so in a manner that puts people at ease rather than creates anxiety, and will not increase equipment costs. When people are informed, they can make proper changes and greatly reduce injury.
The topics discussed are:
cervical (neck) mid/low back regions eye stress tunnel syndrome These areas, when not treated, can lead to pain and expensive work compensation bills. The information in this talk is designed to reduce this common outcome.
