Are you Suffering from "ZOOM Syndrome"?

Are you one of the millions of people working from home?  Have you had increasing hours spent on your computer using ZOOM or other virtual meeting formats? The European Journal of Public Health performed a study where daily computer use exceeding 2-3 hours was a threshold for Neck-Shoulder Pain. I am seeing an increase in my practice in the Oakland/Berkeley area of what I have called "ZOOM Syndrome". This can manifest with a constellation of several symptoms, from headaches to neck pain and stiffness, TMJ pain, eye fatigue, general physical fatigue and irritability. 

Can chiropractic care help this emerging problem with its many symptoms?  Yes, I have seen a resolution of symptoms with the type of chiropractic care I provide at my office.  Neck pain, headaches, jaw pain, fatigue and irritability all can be resolved through myofascial release and chiropractic spinal manipulation.  From the first treatment, patients find relief from their symptoms and an increased sense of well being that they take with them back to their family, friends and co-workers.  

It may take several treatments to fully resolve the problem depending on how long a person has experienced the symptoms.  So, additionally, I will provide at home solutions in the form of ergonomic changes, eye exercises and other methods to reduce the return of the symptoms and help speed up the resolution. Your at home workstation might not be as ergonomic as the office, so do this when you’re working from home.

If ZOOM syndrome sounds like a problem you have been experiencing recently, do not wait any longer, please give my Oakland office a call and lets set up an appointment to help you get relief and resolve this new syndrome now!
