According to our clinical experience we have observed the following:
| • |
Back and neck pain is one of the commonest causes of disability in the working population. |
| • |
Four out of five adults will experience significant low back or neck pain sometime during their life. |
| • |
Work-related back or neck injuries are common occupational hazard. |
| • |
Total cost of back and neck pain & it's treatment is a huge expense for the individual, organization & community. |
| • |
Most low back or neck pain/ discomfort reflects only minor injury, overuse, normal aging or poor posture. |
The Physiotherapy Department at ASIAN Heart Institute has developed a 'Treat your Back and Neck' Program for prevention and self-treatment of backs & neck pain. This program includes back & neck care guidelines, posture education, exercise sessions, if required pain relieving electrotherapy modality and weight reduction program. This program will benefit the working population, improve their work productivity/efficiency, reduce absenteeism from work due to back & neck pain. Office going population with healthy back & neck will minimize organizational loss.
The focus of this program is to arrange monthly education lecture for the employees on how to prevent back & neck problems. This would be followed by a "Spinal Health Check" to screen persons with problems or at risk of developing it. The check will include evaluation, assessment & advice on 'Treat your own Back & Neck'. Further treatment & management if required would also be rendered. |
