How many times do we talk about something as a pain in the neck? Ever refer to your job as a pain in the neck? (Be truthful! Vancouver Disc Centers will keep it between us!) Certain job duties could well be a pain in the neck…factually. Some simple exercises and Vancouver chiropractic care could ease your neck pain gently and effectively.

PAIN IN THE NECK OFFICE WORK

Researchers have a formal name for your job’s pain in the neck issue - work-related neck-shoulder pain. Adding motor control training and ergonomic workspace modification counsel for workplace motions and postures lead to positive and sustainable advantage in reducing shoulder pain and neck pain. (1) Adding stretching exercises to the everyday routine decreased neck and shoulder pain and better neck function and quality of life for office workers with chronic moderate-to-severe neck pain or shoulder pain. This study reported that the additional instruction in how to do neck and shoulder stretches a couple times daily every work day (5 days a week) truly helped in the month long program. Further, those who did the exercises less than 3 times per week received less improvement than those who performed them more than 3 times a week. Performing the neck and shoulder exercises more improved neck function and these patients’ quality of life scores. And this study was with chronic neck pain and shoulder pain patients, those who have experienced neck and shoulder pain for more than three months and rated their pain as 5 or more on a a 10 point scale with 10 being the worst pain. (2) Imagine what good these kinds of exercises could do for early stage neck and shoulder pain office-working patients!
