Painting and Neck Pain

Neck pain relief from painting in Livermore, CA paintingandneckpain

This week, I had a patient come into my chiropractic office in Livermore  with severe pain in her neck, shoulders that was shooting into her right arm.  When I asked her what happened, she told me that she had been painting her home and noticed that she was feeling “stiff” but was trying to “fight through it” so she could get her room painted.  Luckily shortly after beginning her care, she has had enormous relief and is back to sleeping at night and moving around and using her right hand. I had suggested that instead of “killing herself” trying to paint her own home and causing injuries to herself, she should hire a good reputable painter to do the job.  Yes, it might save some money to do the job yourself, but when you factor in the cost of the possible injury and then the cost to try and take care of it, as well as what your time is worth, it would actually be more cost effective to have someone else who is trained to do so do it for you.

After speaking to a business associate of mine, Sharon Evans from Fresh Coat Painters, I told her about my patient who came in hurting after painting (which by the way she didn’t get to finish because of her pain) and she told me how so many people who are not trained appropriately try to pain their own homes and not only because of lack of training are they not happy but they don’t have the equipment that helps professionals to get the job done quickly, correctly and without injuries.
