Caring for Caregivers: Practical Strategies for Understanding and Managing Chronic Pain at Work
Chronic pain, defined as pain lasting for more than three months, is a condition that affects 20-40% of the global adult population. According to WorkSafeBC's annual report, chronic pain ranks as the second leading cause of workers' compensation claims, trailing only mental health disorders. Although anyone can experience chronic pain, research highlights that some occupations are at a higher risk of experiencing chronic pain and caregiving is one of them.
