Injury Clinic Clayhall IG5

Introduction

We understand that pain isn’t something that you should learn to deal with or become comfortable with. At times, the doctor just isn’t enough, and your symptoms aren’t going away. 

So, what can we do?

Well, pain is an important symptom of injury and illness. It can be acute or chronic, mild or severe, localized to one area or all over your body. So first, we have to get to the bottom of the cause before we can treat it. 

Let’s delve into what pain is, the symptoms of pain and how it is caused. Then, we’ll start to unravel how we can help you relieve your symptoms through our injury clinic Clayhall IG5. 

Pain

Pain is a signal from your body that tells you something is wrong. It’s often a symptom of an injury, but it can also be a symptom of a serious illness. Sometimes, we know full well what has happened, whether it be a trip, fall or injury whilst playing sports. 

But it can also remain hidden, which is when we need to think about a number of things including:

  • Stress
  • Injury
  • Disease
  • Aging
  • Arthritis

Many people think that when they suffer from pain it will go away on its own. Sometimes, these people are correct, but most of the time that pain lingers. At first it may be a harsh stabbing pain that turns into a dull ache over time, and we learn to ignore it. But that harsh pain that turned into a dull ache is a symptom of something being wrong. 

If you have pain for more than three months, you should see your doctor or visit our injury clinic for help and support. 

How Injury Clinic Clayhall IG5 Reduces Pain

One way that our injury clinic helps to reduce pain and fix any issues that you may have as a result of injury is through massage. 

Massage therapy is a great way to relieve muscle tension. It can help you relax, sleep better and feel less pain. Massage also encourages blood flow to the area being treated, which can help to stimulate the healing process.

In addition to these benefits, our massage service within the injury clinic offers several other advantages:

  • Massage can improve circulation in your body by increasing blood flow through your circulatory system. This allows oxygenated blood cells to reach every part of your body more efficiently than if there were no massage at all!
  • Massage therapies are used for many different conditions such as headaches and back pain as well as general health maintenance among seniors and young adults alike!

Trade Jobs Cause Injury

Trade jobs are great for people who enjoy working with their hands and being in the outdoors.

But constant heavy lifting of packages, machinery and materials is going to take its toll on your body. If your posture isn’t a hundred percent always correct, the slightest slip could cause a great deal of pain. 

The most common injuries for those working in trade jobs are:

  • Strains and Sprains
  • Falling, Tripping and Slipping
  • Disease from Contaminated Areas
  • Breaks and Fractures

Office Job Common Injuries

Whilst on the surface you would think that sitting in a chair at your desk all day is a pretty injury-free job, the opposite is true. 

Most jobs require some sort of onboarding. They are essential video modules that you must complete before you can start your job. One video that is always on the list to complete is your desk, chair and computer setup. 

A repetitive strain injury is caused by having a poor workstation setup. Ensure that the equipment that you use is the correct size, avoids any awkward movement and is comfortable to use. 

Simple things like ensuring your chair is the right height, your eyes are lined up with the top of your monitor and your arms are at a 90-degree angle when you’re typing. 

Other injuries include:

  • Back pain
  • Lack of activity
  • Slips and falls
  • Carpal Tunnel

Back pain

The first step to preventing back pain at night is to get a good night’s sleep. This can be achieved by making sure you have the right mattress, pillow and pillowcase. You should also make sure you have good sheets, as well as a duvet cover that doesn’t bunch up around your body while you sleep.

For those who need extra help getting into bed and out of bed, there are various products available on the market today that can help with this problem – from simple grab bars attached to each side of the headboard and footboard (for both getting in/out) or additional rails on either side for those who need more support when transferring from sitting position onto their backsides or vice versa (which happens more often than one might think).

What about posture? Well, it turns out that maintaining good posture throughout the day is just as important as sitting properly during meals! So how do we accomplish this feat? The answer lies within our bodies’ natural design: when sitting upright with correct posture, there should be no strain placed upon any parts – including muscles or joints throughout your entire body except where they become busy working hard during exercise routines. 

Come and visit our injury clinic Clayhall IG5 to learn how you can help to reduce your back pain through posture recommendations, massage therapy and injury advice. 

Pain is important

The pain you’re feeling is very important. It means something is wrong and needs to be addressed. The last thing that you should be doing is ignoring your pain, altering your posture or movements, or taking advice from non-professionals, as it could lead to further detriments. 

This goes for all types of pain: backaches are no different from headaches or muscle soreness after a workout. So, why would you treat it differently?

Many people ignore their pain because they’re worried about what the cause could be, or that the end result may be surgery. But Pain management doesn’t have to include narcotics or surgery.
