Studies show that the problem of work-related pain in dentistry is not decreasing. Over half of all dental professionals continue to experience work-related pain. Why? Studies reveal that the cause of work-related pain and MSDs in dentistry is multi-factorial. Numerous risk factors must be addressed to effectively manage and prevent muscle imbalances, ischemia, and trigger points that lead to pain and injuries. A fusion of dental ergonomics, physical therapy, biomechanics, and physiology have produced a dynamic series of effective seminars, videos, and products to help the dental operator manage and prevent work-related pain and avoid potentially career-ending MSDs (musculoskeletal disorders):
Tension Neck Syndrome
Trapezius Myalgia
Rotator Cuff Impingement |
Chronic Low Back Pain
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome |
Dental professionals recognize the value of prevention. What are you doing to protect the investment you've made in your career and ensure your own career-longevity?
