Vancouver Stress and Its Contribution to Back Pain

From firefighters to nurses, from kids to older folks - and all of us in between - work-related stress is stressful. It influences our experience of pain and often triggers times of back pain and neck pain and back-related and neck-related pain. Vancouver Disc Centers is here to help squash the impact of work-related stress as much as possible. Vancouver back pain and neck pain patients carry everything – including their stress – with them to Vancouver Disc Centers. You can, too! Together, we will handle work-stress and back and neck pain.

WORK-RELATED STRESS

Work-related stress messes with us. It gets our attention via pain. None of us is resistant to stress, not even a kid! A kid’s job is being a kid and going to school on the path to adulthood. Along the way, kids experience job-related stress. The pressures of grades and friends and news and learning problems get to them. Adolescents get low back pain, too. Depression, anxiety, coercion, uneasy relationships, extreme academic pressures, and disappointing school lives may all set college students up for chronic low back pain. (1) 11% of firefighters reported moderate to extremely severe stress on the job. 40% described musculoskeletal symptoms with back pain being the most mentioned. More stress correlated with 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 translated into higher psychological demands for them.
