Work. We all have to do it. Everyone’s
job requires posture(s) that may cause
pain at one point or another. Back And Neck Care Center sees the pain! Quite
a few Severna Park back pain and neck pain patients who seek chiropractic bring stories of work-related pain. We are
here to help!
TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN
Back And Neck Care Center is confident in its skill
to alleviate and handle work-related musculoskeletal
pain for our Severna Park chiropractic patients. Not too surprisingly,
81.7% of office workers in one study had musculoskeletal pain
in at least one area. Back pain was the most frequently experienced
pain for 54.8%. Neck and shoulder pain were after that. Interestingly,
musculoskeletal system pain was found to be high in office
workers whose physical activity levels were found to be low. 58.5%
of these workers were “active” physically, 37.3% were less
active, 4.1% were very active. (1) Research shows that in-the-workplace
exercise routines were effective in addressing
musculoskeletal disorders and in reducing pain for office workers.
(2) Back And Neck Care Center welcomes the optimism this brings
for our Severna Park back and neck pain patients!
WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Back And Neck Care Center treats work-related pain within the guidelines of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management which integrates gentle spinal manipulation along
with exercise, nutrition and other recommendations. We appreciate researchers’
description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful conditions
induced by inadequate use
of the musculoskeletal system during work.
Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty usual
methods of dealing with and attempting
to prevent pain. Most suggestions like this were for workers
to do outside of the workplace. Recently, researchers suggested
the value of specific, individualized, resistance strengthening exercises
in the workplace to reduce pain, fatigue, and discomfort in worker’s
upper extremities and neck. (3) That’s a promising idea. Back And Neck Care Center sees the benefit
of taking care of oneself at home and in the workplace!
