ISSUES WITH MASKS THAT RESULT IN Tonawanda NECK PAIN AND HEADACHE
Masks and mask-wearing have down sides. One study of nurses explained that headache bothered 73.4%, extreme sweating affected 59.6%, breathing difficulty bothered 36.7%. Goggle or glasses’ fogging was reported by 91.7%. N95 wearers stated issues with nasal bridge scarring in 76.6% and pain and indentation of the back of the ears by 66.4%. (1) Another study of nurses who had to wear masks and other PPE for greater than 4 hours at a time revealed that vision problems bothered 47.9% of them as did redness of cheeks/nose bridge/ears, dry mouth, and headaches. (2) A study of healthcare workers centered on the incidence of headache during COVID-19. 81% said that they acquired novel PPE (mask/eye wear)-linked headaches. 33% of them reported suffering headaches before COVID. 91.3% of those pre-existing headache sufferers said that increased mask/eye wear equipment impacted their headache control and work. (3) Overall headache occurrence due to PPE (mask/eye) was 62% in another report. Working more than 8 hours a shift escalated the risk of new headache incidence. Discomfort, blurred vision, and reduced concentration were other reported issues. Wearing such equipment worsened pre-existing headache issues and brought on new headache occurrences.

NEW PAIN ISSUES AND HELP WITH CHIROPRACTIC
As stated by the American Chiropractic Association, our Tonawanda chiropractic patients are not alone! Chiropractic patients across the country are describing some new pain issues with their neck, shoulders, and upper back during COVID experience, particularly those who wear masks for long hours. Certainly, stress is a contributing factor to pain in normal times. In these times, it is no wonder that patients are describing more pain. Masks may well contribute to pain in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Masks may impact vision. If a mask lies too high, the wearer may tuck the chin to see more clearly or hold the neck in a different way to see better. A better fitting mask may be beneficial. More frequent breaks may help. Stretching more often may help. A walk to de-stress is a terrific option! (5) Your Tonawanda chiropractor understands these issues and is ready to help!
