  • Title: Getting your back back to work: pain relief--where to start?
    Author: Caruso TJ, Pleva DJ.
    Journal: J Calif Dent Assoc; 2005 Feb; 33(2):146-52, 155-7. PubMed ID: 15816705.
    Abstract:
    Dental health care workers are vulnerable to back and neck pain resulting from poor occupational posture. While numerous choices exist for treatment, this article will provide them with a practical approach to seeking out appropriate care for this common malady. The McKenzie treatment approach is discussed and recommendations for its application are presented to provide the reader with a starting point for treatment. For the dental health care worker experiencing pain and dysfunction of the back and/or neck, as more than half will during their careers, this article will seek to provide an overview of potential causes while creating a roadmap for seeking the most appropriate conservative "antidote" for their care.
