TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is confident in its skill to alleviate and manage work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Manchester chiropractic patients. Not too surprisingly, 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 reported as 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 interventions were effective in treating musculoskeletal disorders and in reducing pain for office workers. (2) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries appreciates the optimism this brings for our Manchester back and neck pain patients!
WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries manages work-related pain within the guidelines of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which integrates 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 too little use of the musculoskeletal system throughout the work day. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty usual methods of managing and trying to prevent pain. Most suggestions like this were for workers to do outside of the workplace. Recently, researchers proposed 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 is a promising idea. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries sees the value in taking care of oneself at home and in the workplace!
