Treat office syndrome
Treatment of neck and back pain by Thai traditional medicine doctors
Office syndrome from the perspective of traditional Thai medicine, is caused by blood and air in the body being blocked, making it difficult to walk, causing toxins to accumulate, usually at the base of the neck, shoulders, and shoulder blades, which then causes pain in the head, eye sockets, or radiates down the arms and fingertips. Another area is the lower back, which may have dull pain in the same place or radiates down the legs, causing leg weakness. If these symptoms are left untreated for a long time, they can lead to more serious symptoms, such as migraines, compression of blood vessels and nerves, such as herniated discs pressing on nerves. All of these are caused by postures at work, sitting for a long time, standing for a long time, typing, using a computer for a long time, or having accumulated stress for a long time, and lack of regular muscle stretching.
