Kevin Tan
Balancing Work and Passion
One wouldn’t naturally associate dentistry and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. For San Diego dentist, Kevin Tan, however, the two represent both his passion and neck pain.
He’s not alone. Research has shown that nearly 2 out of 3 individuals in the dental profession suffer from neck/back pain at some point in their careers.
“Dentists have issues with our back, our necks because of the way we work,” says Kevin. “Trying to work with patients. You’re trying to put on a happy face but you’re also thinking, man my neck is killing me right now.”
Kevin's other passion, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, inadvertently intensified his neck pain. It was during this time that he discovered the Iron Neck.
"I wanted to get to using the Iron Neck because I was training jiu-jitsu for a while and my neck was really sore, and it was affecting work," he explained. “Now I just kind of use it purely for work. Because it makes work a lot easier.”
Iron Neck quickly became Kevin's practical solution. His busy lifestyle demanded a simple, convenient solution.
"I can pop it on, do my exercise, do my routine and then hop into bed and go to sleep. I don't have any pain anymore," he shared.
Iron Neck wasn’t Kevin’s first attempt at resolving his neck discomfort.
“I’ve tried other things,” Kevin explains. “I’ve seen the chiropractor. By the time I drive back home I feel my neck tighten up. I used to use the old boxer harnesses. It wasn’t easy.”
Beyond physical relief, the Iron Neck provided Kevin with a crucial benefit: focus. In the demanding field of dentistry, where patients rely on his expertise, being at his best is paramount.
"They're trusting us to be totally focused, totally dialed in and making sure we're giving the best optimal care we can," he acknowledged, highlighting the importance of being pain-free and fully present.
Kevin Tan's journey with the Iron Neck is a testament to practical solutions for everyday challenges. His story showcases how he managed to take control of his neck pain, regain focus, and continue his professional and personal pursuits without unnecessary burden.
