Minster Chiropractic Care for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Pain
Work. We all must work. Everyone’s job requires posture(s) that may cause pain at one time or another. Minster Chiropractic Center sees the pain! Many Minster 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
Minster Chiropractic Center is poised in its ability to relieve and handle work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Minster 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 frequently 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 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 treating musculoskeletal disorders and in decreasing pain for office workers. (2) Minster Chiropractic Center appreciates the optimism this brings for our Minster back and neck pain patients!
WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Minster Chiropractic Center 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 advice. We appreciate researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful conditions induced by inadequate utilization of the musculoskeletal system throughout the work day. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty usual methods of dealing with and trying to prevent pain. Most recommendations like this were for workers to do on their own time. 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. Minster Chiropractic Center sees the value in taking care of oneself at home as well as in the workplace!
