* Recent studies have shown that with chiropractic introduced into the corporate working lifestyle there is a significant reduction in time taken off work and a more productive workforce.
* 40 million work days are lost per year, 75% of which are musculoskeletal conditions.
* Back pain costs £5 billion in business and industry per year.

It is a common occurrence in the work place that employees have to take sick leave, usually only for a few days but sometimes absence can be long term, majorly effecting business and finances.

It is also common for sick leave to be taken due to a musculoskeletal disorder after poor lifting technique, poor posture, poor ergonomics or repetitive movements. All these conditions are avoidable.

"In terms of back pain, studies have show that the longer people are off work the likelihood of them returning to work decreases. Another aspect to consider is that when employees are in pain, concentration decreases and therefore the effectiveness of the work they produce also decreases."
