Office Syndrome: Chronic Pain from Lifestyle Habits
Office Syndrome: Chronic Pain from Lifestyle Habits
Dr. Thanis Tundamrongpong (Dr. M), a specialist in rehabilitation medicine, emphasizes a patient care philosophy focused on prevention first and long-term treatment outcomes, especially for pain caused by daily lifestyle behaviors.
Dr. M pays particular attention to conditions such as office syndrome and sports injuries. Common symptoms, especially among working-age adults, include neck, shoulder, and back pain, often caused by prolonged sitting and lack of muscle strengthening.
Prevention Through Exercise and Posture
Dr. M highlights that effective pain management should begin with prevention, as each patient has a unique lifestyle requiring personalized advice.
Key preventive strategies include:
๐ Muscle strengthening: Regular exercise improves overall muscle strength and even mental well-being, helping reduce pain in the long term.
๐ Slowing degeneration: Strong muscles help delay physical deterioration.
๐ Proper posture: Adjusting posture during work and daily activities is essential to prevent repeated injuries.
Integrated Treatment for Long-Term Results
For chronic pain (e.g., lower back pain), treatment involves a combination of pain-relief procedures and exercise therapy:
Pain-relief technologies:
๐ Shockwave therapy
๐ PMS (magnetic stimulation)
๐ High-power laser
๐ Traditional methods like dry needling
Therapeutic Exercise:
Tailored programs such as aerobic exercise, weight training, and stretching to both treat and prevent recurrence
Dr. M emphasizes that even if pain improves with treatment, without strengthening exercises and lifestyle changes, the results will not be sustainable.
Improving Quality of Life
As a rehabilitation physician, Dr. M believes the goal is not just to treat symptoms but to restore overall quality of life-physically and mentally. When patients improve, it positively impacts those around them as well.
