Focus on Workplace Health

Back & Neck Pain

Back pain is one of the most common reasons for missed work. In fact, it is the second most common reason for visits to the doctor's office. In 2005 Americans spent $85.9 billion seeking relief from back and neck pain. Unfortunately, all of this cost does not translate into better outcomes and relief from pain for many. In fact, although medical intervention is necessary in some cases, the best treatments are often allowing time to heal, more exercise that can be done safely, and losing weight .

Reducing Healthcare Costs and Improving Health and Productivity

Health-care costs in the United States are more than $1 trillion annually, but preventable illnesses account for approximately 70% of illnesses and related costs.

United States Department of Health and Human Services has ia goal to have 75 percent of United States worksites offering employees comprehensive health promotion programs by the year 2010.

Return on Investment

By lowering health care costs and absenteeism, and increasing productivity, employers who invest in worksite health promotion programs can see a return of $3-$7 for every $1 invested over a 2-5 year period.
