Work. We all have to do it. Everyone’s
job necessitates posture(s) that may cause
pain at one time or another. Pflugerville Wellness Center sees the pain! Many Pflugerville back pain and neck pain patients who come
to chiropractic bring stories of work-related pain. We are
here to help!
TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN
Pflugerville Wellness Center is poised in its skill
to relieve and manage work-related musculoskeletal
pain for our Pflugerville chiropractic patients. Not too startling,
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 were after that. 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 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 addressing
musculoskeletal disorders and in reducing pain for office workers.
(2) Pflugerville Wellness Center welcomes the optimism this brings
for our Pflugerville back and neck pain patients!
WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Pflugerville Wellness Center treats work-related pain according
to the guidelines of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management which incorporates gentle spinal manipulation along
with exercise, nutrition and other advice. 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
methods of dealing with 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 decrease pain, fatigue, and discomfort in worker’s
upper extremities and neck. (3) That’s a promising idea. Pflugerville Wellness Center sees the value in taking care of oneself at home as well as in the workplace!
