REASON OF CHRONIC PAIN SYNDROME IN THE NECK-SHOULDER REGION AT STOMATOLOGISTS

Abstract

Despite the fact that in the modern world there have been huge changes in the work of the dental office, in the aspect of technology; the very process of the workload of the dentist's work remained the same (l). Working conditions, in particular the setting of a working posture, affect the health of the doctors themselves. The higher the length of service of the doctor, the more there is pain in the neck and shoulder. Thus, the result of long-term malaise, equating the problem of a disease of the cervicobrachial region as a serious medical and social problem and an occupational disease (l). What are the reasons that ultimately lead to pathology, these are local and regional physical overstrain, dynamics and statistics during the period of the doctor's work, there is a load along the chain of the hand-forearm and shoulder. Equally important in this situation is the posture of the hand, the rise to a level above the horizontal level. Literature data indicate the nature or posture of the dentist, a slight tilt of the head with rotation of the left girdle, leading over time to the tension of the occipital muscles (l).
