TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN

Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is confident in its ability to alleviate and manage work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Groton 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 often 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 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 reducing pain for office workers. (2) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office appreciates the optimism this brings for our Groton back and neck pain patients!

WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?

Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office treats work-related pain according to the guidelines of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which incorporates gentle spinal manipulation along with exercise, nutrition and other advice.  We appreciate researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful issues brought on by inadequate use of the musculoskeletal system throughout the work day. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty typical methods of managing and attempting to prevent pain. Most recommendations like this were for workers to do on their own time. Recently, researchers suggested the value of specific, individualized, resistance strengthening exercises in the workplace to decrease pain, fatigue, and discomfort in the neck and upper extremities of workers. (3) That’s a promising idea. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office sees the value in taking care of oneself at home and in the workplace!
