<h4 style="color: #008080;"><span style="color: #00826a;">Understand the Popular Disease, Conquer Office Syndrome</span></h4>
<p><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>Office Syndrome</strong></span> is a condition caused by working in the same posture for a prolonged period, leading to muscle imbalance, joint, ligament, and nerve issues. It also negatively affects various body systems, including blood and lymphatic circulation, digestion, and vision. This condition is commonly found in office workers who maintain improper postures continuously for long periods.</p>
<h4></h4>
<h4 style="color: #008080;"><span style="color: #00826a;">Symptoms of Office Syndrome</span></h4>
<p>Most commonly, symptoms include muscle pain in various areas such as neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, arm pain, wrist pain, palm pain, finger pain, trigger finger, or eye socket pain. Additionally, office syndrome symptoms can affect vision, cause high blood pressure, indigestion, bloating, and difficulty sleeping or interrupted sleep.</p>

<h4 style="color: #008080;"><span style="color: #00826a;">What Stage Are These Symptoms?</span></h4>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #008080;"><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>Initial Stage</strong></span> </span> usually starts with muscle soreness or stiffness during or after work. Symptoms improve with stretching, changing posture, or resting but tend to come and go. If left untreated, it can become chronic, making the pain harder to relieve.</li>
<li><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>Chronic Stage</strong></span> occurs when symptoms persist for a while without improvement, happen frequently, and do not improve with posture changes. The pain interferes with daily life or reduces work ability. This may be a sign of the chronic stage and requires urgent treatment.</li>
<li><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>Severe Stage</strong></span> usually involves almost constant pain, numbness, weakness, muscle stiffness, blurred vision, dizziness, migraines, and sometimes nausea. These symptoms affect daily life and may prevent normal work.</li>

</ul>
<h4 style="color: #008080;"><span style="color: #00826a;">Steps to Treat Office Syndrome</span></h4>
<ul>
<li>In the initial stage, it can be self-treated by addressing the root cause, such as adjusting lifestyle and work posture, creating an environment that helps relax muscles and joints, and reducing inflammation by stretching muscles and joints to improve blood and lymph circulation. Other methods include hot and cold compresses, soaking in warm water for relaxation, muscle massage, and exercises to increase flexibility and strength of muscles and joints.</li>
<li>For those with chronic symptoms, experiencing severe pain that heals slowly, and no improvement with posture changes, and frequent recurrence, if not properly treated, it may lead to fibrosis, reduced flexibility, and structural imbalance. Consult a doctor for diagnosis to find the true cause of pain through X-rays, MRI scans, physical therapy to reduce pain and increase flexibility, topical or oral medications to relieve pain or inflammation, use of devices to distribute weight on joints and muscles, acupuncture from traditional Chinese medicine, etc.</li>
<li>For those with severe symptoms, urgent medical consultation is necessary. If symptoms include numbness and weakness in limbs, doctors may consider pain relief medications in the form of injections, oral drugs, or devices to reduce the use of inflamed organs, or surgery to correct the underlying cause.</li>
<li style="list-style-type: none;"></li>
</ul>
<p>However, prevention is better than cure, and the most effective treatment is self-care. Office syndrome results from habitual unhealthy behaviors and environments in daily life. Therefore, correcting and adjusting posture according to ergonomic principles, exercising, and eating foods that improve muscle, tendon, and joint flexibility to enhance blood and lymph circulation will have long-term benefits. Taking breaks to stretch during prolonged work or activities, adjusting equipment to suit daily life, and stress relaxation will help reduce the risk of office syndrome.</p>

Changing posture does not improve the condition and may frequently recur. If not properly treated, it may progress, causing fibrosis, reduced flexibility, and body structure imbalance. You should consult a doctor for diagnosis and screening.
