Work-Related Aches and Pains

Work, whether at a computer terminal or in heavy industry, can cause disorders of muscles, tendons and joints, particularly in the back, hands and arms. Symptoms vary from mild aches and pains to severe pain and disability. These may be caused by:

Manual handling and lifting:

• Muscle and tendon injuries
• Intervertebral disc lesions ('slipped disc')
• Sciatica

Forceful or repetitive movements:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Tenosynovitis
  
• Peritendonitis
• Epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
• Mouse wrist

Poor posture or repetitive movements:

• Low back pain
• Neck and shoulder pain
• Computer hump
• Repetitive strain injuries

We can help to successfully treat many work-related conditions and can provide advice and preventative exercise to avoid problems recurring in the future.
