TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN

Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is poised in its ability to relieve and manage work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Fort Wayne 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. Interestingly, musculoskeletal system pain was found to be 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 routines were effective in addressing musculoskeletal disorders and in decreasing pain for office workers. (2) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc welcomes the optimism this brings for our Fort Wayne back and neck pain patients!

WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?

Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc manages 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 appreciate researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful issues brought on by too little use 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 suggested the benefit of specific, individualized, resistance strengthening exercises in the workplace to decrease pain, fatigue, and discomfort in the neck and upper extremities of workers. (3) That is a good idea. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc sees the value in taking care of oneself at home and in the workplace!
