TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN
Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers is poised in its skill to relieve and manage work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Baton Rouge 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. Curiously, 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 treating musculoskeletal disorders and in reducing pain for office workers. (2) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers welcomes the optimism this brings for our Baton Rouge back and neck pain patients!
WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers manages work-related pain within the guidelines of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which integrates 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 inadequate utilization of the musculoskeletal system during work. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty usual methods of dealing with and attempting to prevent pain. Most recommendations like this were for workers to do on their own time. 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’s a good idea. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers sees the value in taking care of oneself at home as well as in the workplace!
