OFFICE SYNDROME
What is Office Syndrome?
Office Syndrome is a group of symptoms related to muscle and fascia pain (Myofascial Pain Syndrome) and inflammation of tissues and tendons (Tendinitis). It includes pain and numbness from compressed nerves due to repetitive use of the same muscle groups over extended periods. Common among office workers, it results from prolonged computer use or repetitive tasks, leading to cumulative and chronic pain.
Causes of Office Syndrome
Office Syndrome is caused by inappropriate working postures, such as improper sitting positions and incorrect placement of hands and elbows on the desk.
an unsuitable work environment, like poorly designed desks, improperly positioned computer screens, and inadequate lighting, contributes to the development of this condition.
Symptoms of Office Syndrome
- Muscle Pain: Commonly affects the neck, shoulders, back, and shoulder blades. Pain can be widespread or difficult to pinpoint, sometimes radiating to other parts of the body, causing discomfort in daily activities or work.
- Autonomic Nervous System Symptoms: Includes faintness, sweating, blurred vision, tinnitus, dizziness, and numbness.
- Nerve Compression Symptoms: Such as numbness in the arms and hands, and muscle weakness, especially if nerves are compressed for extended periods.
Preventing Office Syndrome
- Proper Posture: Maintain good posture by not slouching or hunching shoulders. Strengthening and stretching exercises can help maintain correct posture.
- Work Environment Adjustment: Adjust desk and chair height, position the computer screen correctly, and avoid staring at the screen for prolonged periods.
- Regular Movement: Change positions, stretch, and relax muscles at least every hour to prevent stiffness and strain.
