Work & Sports-Related Injury Care in Santa Barbara
Back pain from hunching over your workstation for hours a day. Plantar fasciitis that causes pain while running. Work and sports injuries may seem different, but both require tailored preventive measures to ensure optimal health and performance.
Work-related injuries can vary greatly depending on the person’s age, previous injuries, and work environment. For example, someone working from home might have improper ergonomics, such as sitting on a couch with a laptop on a coffee table, leading to neck, shoulder, and wrist strain.
Proper workplace setup, including adjustable workstations and ergonomic furniture, is crucial to prevent repetitive strain injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome. Incorporating appropriate stretches during breaks can further reduce the risk of these injuries.
