Toronto Chiropractic Care for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Pain
Work. We all have to do it. Everyone’s job necessitates posture(s) that may elicit pain at one point or another. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre sees the pain! Quite a few Toronto back pain and neck pain patients who seek chiropractic share stories of work-related pain. We can help!
TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is poised in its skill to relieve and manage work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Toronto 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. Interestingly, musculoskeletal system pain was seen as 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 interventions were effective in addressing musculoskeletal disorders and in reducing pain for office workers. (2) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre values the optimism this brings for our Toronto back and neck pain patients!
WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre 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 advice. We appreciate researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful issues brought on by too little 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 suggestions like this were for workers to do outside of the workplace. Recently, researchers suggested the value of specific, individualized, resistance strengthening exercises in the workplace to decrease pain, fatigue, and discomfort in the upper extremities and neck of workers. (3) That’s a good idea. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre sees the benefit of taking care of oneself at home as well as in the workplace!
