TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN

Moriarty Chiropractic is confident in its ability to alleviate and handle work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Nashua chiropractic patients. Not too startling, 81.7% of office workers in one study had 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. Curiously, musculoskeletal system pain was seen as high in office workers whose physical activity levels were reported as 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 routines were effective in treating musculoskeletal disorders and in reducing pain for office workers. (2) Moriarty Chiropractic appreciates the optimism this brings for our Nashua back and neck pain patients!

WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?

Moriarty Chiropractic manages work-related pain according to the guidelines of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which incorporates gentle spinal manipulation alongside exercise, nutrition and other recommendations.  We see the value in researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful issues induced by inadequate utilization of the musculoskeletal system throughout the work day. 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 outside of the workplace. Recently, researchers proposed the benefit of specific, individualized, resistance strengthening exercises in the workplace to reduce pain, fatigue, and discomfort in the upper extremities and neck of workers. (3) That’s a promising idea. Moriarty Chiropractic sees the benefit of taking care of oneself at home as well as in the workplace!
