TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN
Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is poised in its ability to alleviate and handle work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Groton chiropractic patients. Not too startling, 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 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 routines were effective in treating musculoskeletal disorders and in decreasing 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 manages work-related pain within the guidelines of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which integrates gentle spinal manipulation along with 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 throughout the work day. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty usual ways of managing and attempting 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 decrease pain, fatigue, and discomfort in worker’s neck and upper extremities. (3) That’s a good idea. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office sees the benefit of taking care of oneself at home and in the workplace!
