Work should be a time of productivity, but poor work ergonomics, carelessness, and accidents can turn your days into frustrating experiences. While many people think of workplace injuries as those that are immediately and totally debilitating, the reality is that there are a lot of low-grade problems that can crop up gradually that make it harder, but not impossible, for you to be comfortable. You can do a lot to prevent these problems, and if you still end up needing treatment, chiropractic treatment at Proctor Chiropractic in Tacoma can help.

Common Pains in the Work Environment

Workplace injury and pain stem from three sources. One is accidents -- maybe you drive a van for your employer and have gotten into a fender-bender that gives you lingering neck pain. A second is poor ergonomics -- your desk, computer, chair, and so on are not placed in ways that prevent repetitive stress injuries, like carpal tunnel syndrome, while merely sitting and writing using a keyboard. A third is being careless -- maybe your employer has given you proper workplace ergonomics training, but you casually swooped down to pick up a heavy box and twisted in just the right way to hurt your back because you didn't pay attention to what you were doing, and now you have lower back pain.
