      ab: Primary contact health care practitioners can play an important role in work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) by recognizing and addressing occupational health issues. It is important to recognize ergonomics as a possible factor inpatient health and recovery. A case is presented of a 36-year-old male suffering from neck and trapezius pain. Ergonomic factors at his workstation were identified as a possible contributor to his musculoskeletal disorder. Conservative care and ergonomic changes to his workstation produced positive results leading to a full recovery. Practitioners should not ignore the possibility that the workplace may be a contributing factor inpatients presenting with musculoskeletal complaints. A thorough patient history is the key to determining if musculoskeletal disorders are work-related. This abstract was translated into English by the publisher or author.
