Among the most common causes for recurrent headache must surely be
the postural stress caused by unergonomic desks in front of computer
screens with inadequate seating. The treatment required is not
reassurance, but rather to:
a) remove the cause of the problem - provide ergonomic work
environment
b) treat the problem using massage, stretching exercises, acupuncture
or neural therapy (among others, all excellent and drug-free)
c) prevent recurrence by educating the patient in causes, early signs
of a recurrence, and the postural approaches of management.
Together with encouraging regular frequent exercise, these measures
will enhance health generally and - importantly from the employers point
of view - improve productivity.
