Solving Work Related Pain in Dentistry
How can you protect your back, neck, shoulders, and hands for a long and healthy career?
Most dental professionals did not receive proper evidence-based ergonomic training in school to ensure a long & healthy career. This can lead to wasted money on non-ergonomic dental equipment, poor positioning techniques, and incorrect exercise that can result in a myriad of pain syndromes.
Research shows that certain interventions should be implemented before others. Dr. Bethany Valachi’s evidence-based eBook, “5 Steps to Practicing Dentistry Pain-Free” reveals how to eliminate pain, boost productivity and improve your quality of life!
