During the coronavirus pandemic many people found themselves working from home, and this has continued to some extent in many businesses. A change in working
environment can bring challenges, one of which can be joint pain and discomfort.
Imagine you have gone from a busy office environment, meeting in boardrooms and visiting the canteen for a coffee, to working at home on your dining room table,
walking several feet to get a cup of tea and sitting back down again, this change in surroundings can have an impact on your joints.
Community pharmacists can be a source of knowledge to help individuals that may be suffering from joint complaints, this may be from the above scenario or just
general aches and pains that come from an office based role.
Firstly, it's important for us to know the effects of sitting down at a desk all day (not a scenario I'm sure many community pharmacists experience daily):
Back pain - is one of the most common complaints. This can be caused by bad posture while sitting too high, too low, or hunched over. While this may present as
just a soreness or discomfort, if not rectified and/or accessed this can lead to some serious health issues such as spinal compression, sciatica or spinal stenosis.
Lower Back Pain can be caused by problems with the tendons, muscles, nerve roots joints and spinal discs.
