Work From Home Injury: Neck and Back Pain

Physiotherapy Professionals Parramatta 12 Ada Street Harris Park NSW 2150: Work From Home Injury: Neck and Back Pain

Has your time spent working from your own home increased significantly since Covid?

Have you sustained a work from home injury: Neck and Back Pain? It could be from something as simple as incorrect ergonomics over a long period of time. We are seeing many patients at the clinic who have had an increase in neck and back pain since spending more time in an incorrect chair at an incorrectly setup desk and computer from their home during these lockdowns and restrictions.

Why is working from home causing neck and back pain?

Pre Covid, you were quite active, even though you didn’t think about it. You got up, showered, walked to the station, stood in the train, walked at work, got a coffee, walked over to your colleague’s desk.

These seemingly simple but very crucial things have stopped while you work from home. what has changed now since you’ve been working from home.

What’s actually causing the problem?

In many causes the main issue is that you’re sitting with poor posture due to:

Habits
Incorrect desk and workspace setup
Not knowing the actual correct ergonomic setup
Incorrect equipment (Gaming chairs vs. Ergonomic chairs)

OR the other issue could simply be that you’re staying seated for far too long. Even f you sit with PERFECT posture, it’s still important to get up and move every hour or so to change the position of your muscles and get the blood flowing.

What Physiotherapy Can Do for You After a Car Accident

Ever wondered What Physiotherapy Can Do for You After a Car Accident? Motor vehicle accidents are unfortunate events that occur on a daily basis, leaving drivers, passengers and pedestrians injured and traumatised. If you were involved in a car accident and managed to walk away from it unharmed you can consider yourself lucky. However, experience has taught us that most injuries received in a motor vehicle accident are not always immediately evident. It is not uncommon for back pain and a variety of other injuries to fully manifest themselves hours, days, or even weeks after the accident. It is for this reason that you are always best advised to see your GP and Physiotherapist immediately following an accident. Physiotherapists are rehabilitation specialist trained to assess and monitor neck and back pain. Physiotherapists after assessing you, will prescribe a beneficial treatment program aimed at restoring you to your normal, healthy self. The longer you delay in seeking treatment, the more prolonged the rehabilitation process will become.

Even if you were initially taken to a hospital for evaluation of your neck and back pain or other accident related injury you are still advised to consult with your family GP and Physiotherapy rehabilitation specialist in the days following. A hospital visit is intended to identify life threatening and urgent injuries like blunt trauma, fractures, concussions and internal bleeding. Soft tissue injuries and the need for rehabilitation strategies are not urgent issues in the ER setting and may need to be addressed by a follow up visit with your family doctor or your rehabilitation specialist – Physiotherapist.

Most soft tissue injuries don’t fully present until several days or weeks following the accident. If a treatment plan is not put in place to address these issues; range of motion, muscle strength, nerve and joint function can all be compromised. A Physiotherapist understands how motor vehicle accidents impact a human body and can evaluate and follow your progress using orthopaedic and neurological testing. A treatment plan can be developed to regain healthy mobility and prevent deterioration.

Common Motor Vehicle Accident Symptoms

Low back pain: This can be caused by a variety of spinal injuries and should be assessed by a Physiotherapist immediately. Spinal instability or even a vertebral fracture can begin as a mild pain which can radiate through the spine and body. Low Back Pain can be an early sign of very serious issues that often go undiagnosed until more severe symptoms begin to develop.
Neck sprain, also known as whiplash is one of the most commonly sustained motor vehicle accident injuries. Whiplash is caused by a fast motion forward and or backward. Whiplash is often accompanied by headaches ranging from mild to severe, pain between the shoulder blades, stiffness of the neck, fatigue, irritability, numbness of arms and even dizziness.
Headaches are very common occurrences after car accidents. Headaches that do not respond to over the counter analgesics or persist over several days should be evaluated further.
Paresthesia and radiating pain presents as numbness, tingling, and even travelling or shooting pain. This is usually a sign of nerve irritation or damage and needs to be evaluated sooner rather than later as untreated conditions become chronic and resistant to improvement.
Dizziness can be a sign of serious injury and can impact on many aspects of your well being including balance, coordination and spatial awareness and must be investigated further.
Irritability, difficulty sleeping, anxiety, and social withdrawalare all common features following a car accident. While most of these symptoms resolve on their own, some persist and require support and some form of treatment. Your rehabilitation specialist is all too aware of these signs and symptoms and can provide you with reassurance and assistance in obtaining the help that you need.

Migraine and Headache Treatment

Common Headache conditions that we can treat:

Do you know which form of Headache or Migraine you are suffering from?

The Headache Process:

We area a dedicated clinic for the treatment of all headaches and migraine types. A thorough examination of the structures involved in headache pain is undertaken in order to identify the precise cause of your presentation. As part of our assessment, we aim to identify and establish the involvement of the upper three cervical segments in Primary and Secondary Headache conditions.

The Assessment Process:

A Comprehensive and thorough examination is performed within the initial consultation with one of our Physiotherapists.
The assessment involves a detailed subjective history-taking and objective measures to appropriately exclude the potential presence of sinister pathologies.
The objective examination consist of various test for the stability of the ligamentous structures within the upper cervical spine, and the tests for insufficiency of the arteries supplying the head and neck.
These tests aim to rule out the potential secondary causes for migraine and headache symptoms, so that the structure of the upper cervical spine can be identified as the discernible contributing structure for your presentation.
This is achieved by producing sustained pressures on the upper three cervical segments to asses the sensitivity of the Brain stem, a large collection of nerves located within the neck.
At the end of the assessment, when a diagnosis has been reached, we will provide you with a clear explanation of your condition and the possible treatment options available to you.

What to expect from us:

In the initial assessment, you can expect a thorough and comprehensive subjective examination and history-taking to determine your exact diagnosis.

At the end of this session, we will give you a clear explanation of your condition and an evidence-backed treatment program that tailored specifically to your needs in order to get you where you need to be. If we find that we are unable to help with your headache and migraines, we will provide you with a suitable referral.

We specialise in providing effective long term solutions for headaches and migraines, as well as physiotherapy treatments for other body pains.

It is important after a serious injury that you are not opening yourself up to a life of chronic pain. Depending on the extent of your injury and the cause of your pain, physiotherapy is beneficial in easing chronic pain by strengthening the muscles that surround painful joints.

Treatment

We use a combination of manual therapy plus modalities and therapeutic exercise to strengthen your muscles and even re-pattern the muscles through exercise designed to reduce recurring pain. Stretches and strengthening exercises work on different parts of the body to build flexibility and range of motion. These are not quick-fix solutions, but done over time, they work to help you restore your range of motion and prevent recurring issues.

Physiotherapy Treatment For Car Accident Injuries

By Ajit Lamba Elbow Pain, Physiotherapy, Sports

Tennis Elbow Treatment

Tennis elbow is one of the most common causes of elbow pain. The pain is usually on the outside of your elbow and can vary in frequency and intensity depending on the person and the extent of your injury. Tennis elbow pain rarerly occurs due to a one off incident. Pain due to tennis elbow slowly slolwy builds up over time with repetitive tasks. This can be work related, sports related and can also be caused due to everyday house hold tasks.

What exactly is tennis elbow?

The term ‘tennis elbow’ itself is actually the everyday wording for a very common injury called ‘lateral epicondylitis’. Lateral epicondylitis refers to inflammation and micro tears of tendons in our elbow that connect our forearm muscles to the outside of our elbow. These forearm muscles are long and travel all the way down our forearm into our hand and fingers. We use them whenever we are using our wrist, hand, elbow and especially when we are gripping.

What has caused my tennis elbow pain?

Tennis is not the only cause of tennis elbow. Tennis elbow is simply caused by the overuse of your lateral (outside) forearm muscles and tendons. When we suddenly increase our overuse and overstress of these muscles and tendons we begin to develop micro-tears that increase with time. As these micro-tears worsen, we eventually develop pain and inflammation and thus tennis elbow. Almost any activity that has led to you suddenly overusing your forearm muscles and tendons can cause your tennis elbow pain. This includes sports with regular gripping like tennis, squash, badminton, and weightlifting. But also jobs and certain leisure activities that involve lots of wrist and hand work such as painters, plumbers, carpenters, cleaners, and many more. Age is another factor which can cause our tendons go through phases where they weaken or degenerate. This process can mean a greater risk of developing tennis elbow (even without a change in use) as our tendons are more easily overworked due to becoming weaker.

Tennis Elbow Treatment

Home remedies:

RICE: Rest, Ice and Compress
Cold therapy over the sore areas
Heat over your forearm muscles if they are tight
Over the counter anti-inflammatories and pain medications.
Gentle forearm stretches and movement exercises.
See your Physiotherapist for a full assessment and treatment plan.
