Education
Ergonomics & Classes
Both Drs. Tiltmann and Blum are Certified Associate Ergonomic (CAE) consultants, which they find essential for the workplace demands of their Bay Area clients. All Financial District Chiropractic patients receive an ergonomic assessment as part of the regular treatment protocol. Patients consistently report that the assessment is more in-depth than what they received from their workplace ergonomist.
Individual Ergonomic Evaluations
The onsite face-to-face time is 30-60 minutes, depending on complexity. It consists of a brief history, an evaluation of the work area (including desk, computer, keyboard, mouse, phone, office accessories, etc.), a discussion with the employee regarding recommendations, and a full written report. Photos of the workspace are taken before and after the evaluation and recommendations are provided to the employer in an eight-to-ten-page report.
Ergonomic Lecture
This one hour lecture meets the Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) training requirements required by the State of California and educates staff on proper workstation use and injury prevention.
Eliminating Chronic Low Back Pain Class
This class is presented in either a one or two hour classroom format. It discusses the common causes of low back pain, current treatment methodologies, how to identify your pain triggers and strategies to eliminate your pain and eventually resume a pain free and functional life again. During this lecture, the novel approaches of Dr. Stuart McGill, Spine Scientist from the University of Waterloo, Canada, will be discussed.
