TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN

Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is confident in its skill to relieve and manage work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Carrolltown 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 frequently 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) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation welcomes the optimism this brings for our Carrolltown back and neck pain patients!

WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?

Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation manages work-related pain within the guidelines of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which incorporates gentle spinal manipulation along with exercise, nutrition and other recommendations.  We appreciate researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful issues induced by inadequate usage of the musculoskeletal system throughout the work day. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty usual ways of managing and trying to prevent pain. Most suggestions like this were for workers to do on their own time. Recently, researchers proposed the value of specific, individualized, resistance strengthening exercises in the workplace to reduce pain, fatigue, and discomfort in the neck and upper extremities of workers. (3) That’s a promising idea. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation sees the value in taking care of oneself at home as well as in the workplace!
