TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN
Satterwhite Chiropractic is confident in its skill to relieve and manage work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Oxford 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 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 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 decreasing pain for office workers. (2) Satterwhite Chiropractic welcomes the optimism this brings for our Oxford back and neck pain patients!
WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Satterwhite 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 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 typical ways of dealing with and trying to prevent pain. Most suggestions like this were for workers to do on their own time. Recently, researchers suggested the benefit of specific, individualized, resistance strengthening exercises in the workplace to decrease pain, fatigue, and discomfort in the upper extremities and neck of workers. (3) That’s a good idea. Satterwhite Chiropractic sees the benefit of taking care of oneself at home and in the workplace!
