Carrolltown Chiropractic Care for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Pain
Work. We all must work. Everyone’s job necessitates posture(s) that may trigger pain at one point or another. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation sees the pain! Quite a few Carrolltown back pain and neck pain patients who come to chiropractic share stories of work-related pain. We can help!
TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN
Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is poised in its ability to alleviate and handle work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Carrolltown 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 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 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 addressing musculoskeletal disorders and in decreasing pain for office workers. (2) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation appreciates 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 alongside exercise, nutrition and other recommendations. We see the value in researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful issues brought on by too little use of the musculoskeletal system during work. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty typical methods of managing and trying to prevent pain. Most recommendations like this were for workers to do outside of the workplace. Recently, researchers proposed the value of specific, individualized, resistance strengthening exercises in the workplace to reduce pain, fatigue, and discomfort in worker’s neck and upper extremities. (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!
