Description

A live in-person chiropractic workshop about posture deformation, induced-headaches, therapies for relief, and healthy habits for desk work! [IMPORTANT] This is an in-person workshop and seating is VERY limited to allow for social distancing. Your Neck and Back Will Thank You Later...Did you know.... The direct cost of musculoskeletal disorders caused by a lack of ergonomics were listed at $20 billion, with total annual costs rising to $54 billion.It's not a fancy new term that is popular due to COVID placing 79% of the country in an "At-Home" state of work. It's so much bigger. Proper desk ergonomics are VITAL to a healthy lifestyle, and a much longer one, too! A large part of my patients are coming in with necks that are crying for help. The first couple of months of COVID, patients were coming in with chronic headaches. Patients that were previously healthy and coming in on occasion were now back to 3 times a week. IT was an odd phenomenon, but I knew immediately it was due to an environment change. These people were NOT doing the necessary therapies to support their new found 8 hour computer work life. They didn't have the right set-up and their frequency of once a month was likely the only thing keeping them from drifting too far from optimal health! I did some research and was unfortunately unsurprised by the findings I saw. Here are 3: #1. Ergonomics-related injuries accounted for over 380,000 days-away-from-work cases in 2013, which was the last year data was made available. That means 1 in every 3 cases are because of an ergonomics issue. (Bureau of Labor Statistics) #2. Carpel tunnel syndrome may affect as many as 1.9 million people in the United States. Doctors perform up to 500,000 surgeries each year to correct this issue. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC]) #3. In 2001, there were almost 27,000 CTS cases which involved days away from work, averaging 25 days away, compared to just 6 days for all non-fatal illnesses and injuries. (Bureau of Labor Statistics) ... Crazy, right? So, I decided to host this workshop to help you and our community. All my techniques, therapies, desk set-up advice, common supplements to take, and so much more laid out for you in this workshop. I believe this workshop is 100% vital to the community. Seating will be limited to 15 people due to COVID.At this workshop I'll share: The methods I use to attack common neck and back strainThe therapies that I use with a high success rateExplain why I believe chiropractic care is the best treatmentAnswer any and all questions you may have RESERVE YOUR SPOT NOW!
