Millville Chiropractic Care for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Pain

Work. We all must do it. Everyone’s job necessitates posture(s) that may elicit pain at one time or another. Wilson Family Chiropractic sees the pain! Quite a few Millville 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

Wilson Family Chiropractic is poised in its ability to relieve and manage work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Millville 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 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) Wilson Family Chiropractic appreciates the optimism this brings for our Millville back and neck pain patients!

WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?

Wilson Family Chiropractic manages work-related pain according to 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 conditions induced by too little use of the musculoskeletal system throughout the work day. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty usual ways of dealing with and trying to prevent pain. Most suggestions like this were for workers to do outside of the workplace. Recently, researchers suggested the value of specific, individualized, resistance strengthening exercises in the workplace to decrease pain, fatigue, and discomfort in worker’s neck and upper extremities. (3) That is a good idea. Wilson Family Chiropractic sees the benefit of taking care of oneself at home and in the workplace!
