TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN
Chiropractic Solutions is confident in its ability to alleviate and manage work-related musculoskeletal pain for our San Jose 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 often experienced pain for 54.8%. Neck and shoulder pain followed. Curiously, musculoskeletal system pain was found to be high in office workers whose physical activity levels were reported as low. 58.5% of these workers reported being “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 decreasing pain for office workers. (2) Chiropractic Solutions appreciates the optimism this brings for our San Jose back and neck pain patients!
WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Chiropractic Solutions treats work-related pain according to the guidelines of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which integrates gentle spinal manipulation along with exercise, nutrition and other advice. We see the value in researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful issues induced by too little usage of the musculoskeletal system throughout the work day. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty typical methods of dealing with and trying to prevent pain. Most suggestions like this were for workers to do on their own time. Recently, researchers proposed the value of specific, individualized, resistance strengthening exercises in the workplace to reduce pain, fatigue, and discomfort in the upper extremities and neck of workers. (3) That’s a good idea. Chiropractic Solutions sees the value in taking care of oneself at home as well as in the workplace!
