It can be easy to discount pain at work, due to the stress, manual labor, and fatigue of a job. However, when the pain comes every time you put in hours, it can be a sign of a work injury or other issue. The team at Houma-Thibodaux Spine & Rehabilitation shares some of the most common pains and symptoms below that tell you a visit with your chiropractor is in order. The following are the most common pain signals, but you should visit your chiropractor if you deal with any type of pain at work.

Back Pain 

Back pain is a common issue in the workplace, whether you sit at a desk or have a manual job. It can be due to improper posture, overuse injuries, lifting improperly, and much more.

Pain in the Wrist 

If you have a job where you type most of the day, you may notice one or more of your wrists in pain. This is a potential sign of carpal tunnel syndrome and should be addressed as soon as possible for relief.

Pain or Tingling in the Leg 

Sciatica is also often connected to workplace pain signals. This condition can impact you from the lower back down your legs, causing pain, tingling, and numbness.

Headaches

Headaches are common among people around the world, but that doesn’t make them a normal part of life. If you find that you have a headache throughout your workday or at the end of each work shift, it might be due to posture and poor ergonomics. It could also be related to spinal misalignment and more.

Neck Pain

Many people who experience headaches also experience neck pain – often due to the same issues. Sometimes, the neck pain is not associated with a headache. However, it could still be due to misalignment, a pinched nerve, and more.
