Elgin Chiropractic Care for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Pain
Work. We all have to do it. Everyone’s job necessitates posture(s) that may cause pain at one time or another. Connected Chiropractic sees the pain! Many Elgin 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
Connected Chiropractic is poised in its ability to relieve and handle work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Elgin chiropractic patients. Not too surprisingly, 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 were after that. 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 treating musculoskeletal disorders and in reducing pain for office workers. (2) Connected Chiropractic appreciates the optimism this brings for our Elgin back and neck pain patients!
WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Connected Chiropractic treats work-related pain according to the guidelines of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which integrates gentle spinal manipulation alongside exercise, nutrition and other recommendations. We appreciate researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful issues induced by too little usage of the musculoskeletal system during work. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty usual methods of managing and trying to prevent pain. Most recommendations like this were for workers to do on their own time. 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 good idea. Connected Chiropractic sees the benefit of taking care of oneself at home as well as in the workplace!
