Pain at the bottom of your back? Try to keep working

Pain in the lower back is common. Do you do work that is hard on your body? Then you may suffer more from back pain. For example, if you have to do a lot of lifting, twisting or bending.

Try to keep working

Your employer and the company doctor can work with you to see what can be done differently. Then it often manages to keep working and you don't have to call in sick. Usually, the pain at the base of your back will subside on its own.

Reporting sick with pain in lower back

Sometimes you still have to call in sick. Then your employer and the company doctor will help you get back to work. And to make it less likely that the back pain will return.

Important notice: error in flu vaccination invitation letter

Dear patient,

In the invitation letter for the flu vaccination, an error was accidentally made. It says it is for the pneumococcal vaccination, but that is not correct.

The invitation is for the flu shot. You can just come on the date and time mentioned in the letter.

We apologise for the confusion and thank you for your understanding.

We would like to ask you not to call the practice.

Sincerely,
Keizer Karelpark general practice
