Largo Chiropractic Care for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Pain
Work. We all have to do it. Everyone’s job requires posture(s) that may elicit pain at one point or another. Hollstrom & Associates Inc sees the pain! Quite a few Largo back pain and neck pain patients who seek chiropractic bring stories of work-related pain. We are here to help!
TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN
Hollstrom & Associates Inc is poised in its skill to relieve and manage work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Largo 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. Interestingly, 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) Hollstrom & Associates Inc values the optimism this brings for our Largo back and neck pain patients!
WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Hollstrom & Associates Inc manages work-related pain within the guidelines of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which incorporates gentle spinal manipulation along with exercise, nutrition and other advice. We see the value in researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful issues induced by too little use of the musculoskeletal system during work. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty usual ways of managing and trying to prevent pain. Most suggestions like this were for workers to do on their own time. Recently, researchers suggested the benefit of specific, individualized, resistance strengthening exercises in the workplace to decrease pain, fatigue, and discomfort in the neck and upper extremities of workers. (3) That’s a promising idea. Hollstrom & Associates Inc sees the benefit of taking care of oneself at home as well as in the workplace!
