PAIN IN THE NECK OFFICE WORK

Researchers have a proper name for your job’s pain in the neck issue - work-related neck-shoulder pain. Adding motor control training and ergonomic workspace modification counsel for workplace motions and postures resulted in positive and sustainable value in reducing shoulder pain and neck pain. (1) Adding stretching exercises to the daily routine lessened neck and shoulder pain and improved neck function and quality of life for office workers with chronic moderate-to-severe neck pain or shoulder pain. This study documented that the additional instruction in how to do neck and shoulder stretches twice daily every work day (5 days weekly) really helped in the month long program. Further, those who did the exercises less than 3 times a week received less improvement than those who performed them more than 3 times a week. Performing the neck and shoulder exercises better improved neck function and these patients’ quality of life scores. And this study was with chronic neck pain and shoulder pain patients, those who have suffered with neck and shoulder pain for more than three months and rated their pain as 5 or more on a scale of 10 points with 10 as the number for the most painful pain. (2) Imagine what benefit these types of exercises could do for early stage neck and shoulder pain office-working patients!
