TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is poised in its skill to relieve and handle work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Sitka chiropractic patients. Not too startling, 81.7% of office workers in one study experienced 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. Curiously, musculoskeletal system pain was seen as 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 treating musculoskeletal disorders and in decreasing pain for office workers. (2) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka values the optimism this brings for our Sitka back and neck pain patients!
WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka treats work-related pain according to the guidelines of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which integrates gentle spinal manipulation alongside exercise, nutrition and other recommendations. We appreciate researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful conditions brought on by inadequate usage of the musculoskeletal system during work. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty typical methods of dealing with and trying to prevent pain. Most recommendations like this were for workers to do outside of the workplace. Recently, researchers suggested the benefit of specific, individualized, resistance strengthening exercises in the workplace to reduce pain, fatigue, and discomfort in worker’s neck and upper extremities. (3) That’s a promising idea. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka sees the value in taking care of oneself at home and in the workplace!
