Office Services
To help business to cope with the impact of back pain related absences from the work place, we offer a service to local business community. This includes a presentation to the work place addressing the importance of good spinal function with special emphasis on good work practice and ergonomics. Each employee will undergo an initial spinal health assessment and can follow up any spinal concerns with a full spinal evaluation at the Todays Healthcare Clinic.
It is important to note that back pain is the single largest reported cause of absence from work and a leading cause of disability.
