​
-
Back and neck pain from poor posture or heavy lifting

Repetitive strain injuries (such as carpal tunnel syndrome)
-
Shoulder and arm pain from overhead work or repetitive motion

Sciatica and hip pain from long hours of sitting or standing

Headaches and tension from stress or workstation setup

Muscle strains and joint injuries from accidents or slips
These injuries can make it difficult to perform your job, enjoy daily activities, and even rest comfortably at night. The good news is that the right care can make a big difference.
