Williamson Chiropractic Care for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Pain
Work. We all have to work. Everyone’s job requires posture(s) that may trigger pain at one point or another. Apple Country Chiropractic sees the pain! Many Williamson 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
Apple Country Chiropractic is confident in its ability to alleviate and manage work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Williamson 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 often experienced pain for 54.8%. Neck and shoulder pain were after that. Curiously, 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 addressing musculoskeletal disorders and in decreasing pain for office workers. (2) Apple Country Chiropractic appreciates the optimism this brings for our Williamson back and neck pain patients!
WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Apple Country Chiropractic treats 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 advice. We see the value in researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful issues brought on by inadequate utilization of the musculoskeletal system during work. 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 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 good idea. Apple Country Chiropractic sees the value in taking care of oneself at home as well as in the workplace!
