Concord, NC Chiropractic Care for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Pain

TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN
Pure Chiropractic is confident in its skill to alleviate and handle work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Concord, NC 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 frequently 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 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 reducing pain for office workers. (2) Pure Chiropractic welcomes the optimism this brings for our Concord, NC back and neck pain patients!
WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Pure Chiropractic treats 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 recommendations. We see the value in researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful conditions induced by too little use of the musculoskeletal system during work. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty usual methods of managing and trying to prevent pain. Most suggestions like this were for workers to do on their own time. Recently, researchers proposed 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 good idea. Pure Chiropractic sees the benefit of taking care of oneself at home and in the workplace!
