Manahawkin Chiropractic Care for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Pain

TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is poised in its ability to relieve and manage work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Manahawkin 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 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 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 addressing musculoskeletal disorders and in decreasing pain for office workers. (2) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center appreciates the optimism this brings for our Manahawkin back and neck pain patients!
WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center 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 see the value in researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful conditions induced by inadequate use of the musculoskeletal system during work. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty usual methods of dealing with and trying to prevent pain. Most recommendations 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 reduce pain, fatigue, and discomfort in the neck and upper extremities of workers. (3) That is a promising idea. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center sees the benefit of taking care of oneself at home and in the workplace!
