I see a Chiropractor every 3 weeks for my chronic SI joint pain and I recently started getting acupuncture to my SI joints and right shoulder/rhomboid muscle area due to scanning. It's the Pitts!

Many things employers can do to help. Ergonomic equipment, scanning breaks, working with physical therapists to learn focused strengthening exercises, etc.

I've had low back pain, neck/shoulder/wrist pain from scanning over the past 15 years. I've had to seek treatment through physical therapy, therapeutic massage & chiropractic adjustments. I lov what I do and would like to continue for menu years into the future. Body mechanics education & setting a standard number of patients per length of shift would be a good step toward eliminating career ending injuries.

I had a serious back injury from reaching over patients and scanning portable. My wrist also cracks when I flex it.

I have work related tendinitis in my right wrist and my right shoulder bothers me at times.

Both of my shoulders make cracking sounds and my range of motion in my left shoulder is reduced. I also have to routinely ice my scanning wrist to alleviate inflammation.

My current working conditions are excellent and I have a great patient load. However, I am aware there are others, unfortunately cannot say the same and are suffering.

We need some representation to stop the WRMSDs.

This is a number 1 concern for me and I constantly scan in pain and I receive repeated L Spine epidurals. I love what I do and I can't fathom doing anything else. I greatly support this petition.
