Vancouver Chiropractic Care for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Pain

TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN
Vancouver Disc Centers is poised in its skill to alleviate and handle work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Vancouver 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 often experienced pain for 54.8%. Neck and shoulder pain were after that. 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 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 addressing musculoskeletal disorders and in decreasing pain for office workers. (2) Vancouver Disc Centers welcomes the optimism this brings for our Vancouver back and neck pain patients!
WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Vancouver Disc Centers manages work-related pain within the guidelines of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which integrates gentle spinal manipulation along with exercise, nutrition and other recommendations. We appreciate researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful issues 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 value of specific, individualized, resistance strengthening exercises in the workplace to decrease pain, fatigue, and discomfort in worker’s upper extremities and neck. (3) That is a good idea. Vancouver Disc Centers sees the value in taking care of oneself at home as well as in the workplace!
