    Your Office Chair: Friend or Foe?

    Last updated 9 months ago

    If you’re like most people, you spend a large portion of your time at the office sitting at your desk. This is an important space where you get work done, and it’s vital for you to stay comfortable and healthy to give your top performance. Since you devote so much time to your desk, you should have an ergonomic office chair that promotes spinal health. This way, you can avoid visiting your physician for a personal injury appointment.

    • Dimensions
      When you sit in your chair, your feet should rest flat on the floor and your thighs should rest horizontally. When sitting all the way back in the chair, there should be a few inches between the backs of your knees and the start of the seat. Additionally, the seat and back of the chair should be wide enough so that there is space left on both sides when you’re seated.
       
    • Back Support
      Good, ergonomic back support is the key to keeping you out of your personal injury doctor’s office. Your lower back’s curve is very unique, and your chair needs to support this curve to avoid personal injury. The lumbar support of your chair should be adjustable. This way, you can move it into the right position to provide full support.
       
    • Material
      Chairs without proper padding can also lead to injury. Ensure there is ample padding for extended comfort. Breathable materials make for better chairs, so avoid hard-surfaced chairs.

    Without an ergonomic office chair adjusted to your body’s preferences, you can create or compound back problems throughout the spine. A personal injury doctor should immediately address these problems to avoid complications, and you should seek a new chair right away.  

    If you’re worried the chair in your office is creating personal injury, visit a physician right away. At Personal Injury Physicians in Jacksonville, our expert doctors specialize in treating these types of injuries. Schedule an appointment today at (904) 638-3702.

    The Role Massage Therapy Can Play in Treating Common Sports Injuries

    Last updated 9 months ago

    If you’ve ever watched a professional sporting event, you know how effective massage can be in dealing with sports strains and injuries. Massage therapists are usually on the sidelines of games, ready to offer quick massages to get injured players. In fact, massages are an important facet of training and keeping fit for pro athletes. As any physician will tell you, however, you don’t have to be a professional athlete to benefit from this therapy. Here are some of the benefits of sports massage for treating injuries:

    • Reduced Stiffness
      Muscle stiffness is a common side effect of a sports-related injury. Massage helps relieve this tension in the soft tissue. Massage therapists focus on applying pressure to deep muscle tissue, which decreases muscle stiffness and increases flexibility. Reducing that stiffness helps you get back to moving the injured muscle, which will speed your rate of recovery.
       
    • Increased Circulation
      The manipulation of the deep, soft muscle tissue increases the flow of circulation to the injured area. Increased circulation removes excess lactic acid cause by your injury, and it speeds recovery-supporting nutrients to the injured area. 
       
    • Decreased Stress
      Stress is the enemy of recovery, and injured athletes often experience heightened stress as a result of their injuries. Sports massage has been shown to decrease blood pressure and cortisol levels, and most athletes report improved relaxation after a massage. This reduced rate of stress will allow your body to focus on repairing the injury. Many athletes use sports massage as part of their training regime even when they’re not injured, because they feel that the psychological benefits of massage make them better competitors.

    The massage therapists at Jacksonville’s Personal Injury Physicians can help you beat your sports injury. In addition to massage therapy, we offer exercise therapy, chiropractic care, and a host of other pain management treatments. Our personal injury physicians can diagnose your problem and develop a personalized treatment plan that will help you beat pain and overcome your injury. Call us today at (904) 638-3702 to schedule an appointment.

    A Look at the Relationship Between Trigger Points and Referral Pain

    Last updated 9 months ago

    A sore spot in your neck or back can cause a lot of discomfort. However, did you know that a knot in your back might be causing more problems? Seemingly unrelated personal injuries may be connected, which is why you should seek treatment from your physician to better heal your pain.

    • What Are Trigger Points?
      Trigger points, also known as muscle knots, are areas of muscle fibers that are tightened and sore. These knots cause discomfort to the touch, but they actually spread pain to other parts of the body, too. A knowledgeable personal injury doctor understands the mapping of the body and can treat pain by healing the trigger points.
       
    • How Do You Know If You’re Experiencing Referred Pain?Trigger points can cause referred pain far away from the actual muscle knot. Most patients don’t understand the connection and may have difficulty getting diagnosed by a regular physician. Only personal injury doctors who have studied these bodily connections will understand your pain and give a correct diagnosis.
       
    • What Are Your Treatment Options?
      Once you receive a diagnosis from your physician, you will learn about your treatment options. Common treatments can include chiropractic and massage therapy at a personal injury doctor’s office. Trigger point injections are used in more serious cases to relax the muscles and relieve your pain.

    If you have unexplained aches and pains, visit your personal injury doctor right away for a diagnosis. Without treatment, your referred pain will worsen over time. Personal Injury Physicians founder Dr. Findley has spent 15 years medically treating referred pain in the Jacksonville area. Visit our office for a proper diagnosis, and we will help you return to life before your personal injury. To schedule an appointment at our comfortable office, call us today at (904) 638-3702.
