West Palm Beach Chiropractic Care for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Pain

TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN

Chiropractic Care is confident in its ability to alleviate and manage work-related musculoskeletal pain for our West Palm Beach 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 frequently experienced pain for 54.8%. Neck and shoulder pain were after that. Curiously, 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 treating musculoskeletal disorders and in reducing pain for office workers. (2) Chiropractic Care appreciates the optimism this brings for our West Palm Beach back and neck pain patients!

WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?

Chiropractic Care treats 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 recommendations.  We see the value in researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful conditions brought on 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 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 reduce pain, fatigue, and discomfort in the neck and upper extremities of workers. (3) That is a promising idea. Chiropractic Care sees the value in taking care of oneself at home and in the workplace!
