Williamson Chiropractic Care for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Pain

Work. We all have to do it. Everyone’s job necessitates posture(s) that may trigger pain at one point or another. Apple Country Chiropractic sees the pain! Quite a few Williamson back pain and neck pain patients who seek chiropractic share stories of work-related pain. We are here to help!

TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN

Apple Country Chiropractic is confident in its ability to relieve and handle 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 frequently experienced pain for 54.8%. Neck and shoulder pain followed. 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 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) Apple Country Chiropractic appreciates the optimism this brings for our Williamson back and neck pain patients!

WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?

Apple Country Chiropractic manages work-related pain within the guidelines of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which integrates gentle spinal manipulation along with exercise, nutrition and other advice.  We appreciate researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful issues brought on by too little utilization of the musculoskeletal system throughout the work day. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty typical methods of managing 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 reduce pain, fatigue, and discomfort in the neck and upper extremities of workers. (3) That’s a good idea. Apple Country Chiropractic sees the value in taking care of oneself at home and in the workplace!
