Plainville Chiropractic Care for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Pain
Work. We all have to do it. Everyone’s job necessitates posture(s) that may cause pain at one time or another. Layden Chiropractic sees the pain! Many Plainville back pain and neck pain patients who come to chiropractic bring stories of work-related pain. We can help!
TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN
Layden Chiropractic is confident in its skill to alleviate and manage work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Plainville chiropractic patients. Not too surprisingly, 81.7% of office workers in one study experienced musculoskeletal pain in at least one area. Back pain was the most often experienced pain for 54.8%. Neck and shoulder pain were after that. Interestingly, musculoskeletal system pain was seen as high in office workers whose physical activity levels were found to be 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 interventions were effective in addressing musculoskeletal disorders and in decreasing pain for office workers. (2) Layden Chiropractic appreciates the optimism this brings for our Plainville back and neck pain patients!
WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Layden Chiropractic treats work-related pain within the guidelines of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which incorporates gentle spinal manipulation alongside exercise, nutrition and other recommendations. We see the value in researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful conditions induced by inadequate use of the musculoskeletal system throughout the work day. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty usual methods of managing and attempting to prevent pain. Most recommendations like this were for workers to do outside of the workplace. 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 is a good idea. Layden Chiropractic sees the value in taking care of oneself at home as well as in the workplace!
