Fort Wayne Chiropractic Care for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Pain

Work. We all must work. Everyone’s job requires posture(s) that may elicit pain at one time or another. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic sees the pain! Quite a few Fort Wayne back pain and neck pain patients who come to chiropractic share stories of work-related pain. We are here to help!

TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN

Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is poised in its ability to alleviate and manage work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Fort Wayne 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 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 found to be 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 interventions were effective in addressing musculoskeletal disorders and in decreasing pain for office workers. (2) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic appreciates the optimism this brings for our Fort Wayne back and neck pain patients!

WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?

Aaron Chiropractic Clinic manages work-related pain according to the guidelines of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which integrates gentle spinal manipulation alongside exercise, nutrition and other recommendations.  We appreciate researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful conditions induced by inadequate usage of the musculoskeletal system during work. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty usual ways of managing 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 reduce pain, fatigue, and discomfort in the neck and upper extremities of workers. (3) That is a promising idea. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic sees the value in taking care of oneself at home as well as in the workplace!
