Juneau Chiropractic Care for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Pain

TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN
Aurora Chiropractic Center is poised in its skill to relieve and manage work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Juneau 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 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 addressing musculoskeletal disorders and in reducing pain for office workers. (2) Aurora Chiropractic Center welcomes the optimism this brings for our Juneau back and neck pain patients!
WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Aurora Chiropractic Center manages work-related pain within 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 conditions induced by inadequate usage of the musculoskeletal system throughout the work day. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty usual methods of dealing with and trying to prevent pain. Most suggestions like this were for workers to do on their own time. Recently, researchers proposed the benefit of specific, individualized, resistance strengthening exercises in the workplace to reduce pain, fatigue, and discomfort in worker’s neck and upper extremities. (3) That’s a promising idea. Aurora Chiropractic Center sees the value in taking care of oneself at home and in the workplace!
