TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is poised in its skill to relieve and manage work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Ashburn and Herndon 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 frequently experienced pain for 54.8%. Neck and shoulder pain followed. 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 routines were effective in addressing musculoskeletal disorders and in reducing pain for office workers.

WHAT EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS WORK?
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn 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 advice. We appreciate researchers’ description of work-related musculoskeletal pain disorders as those painful issues induced by too little utilization of the musculoskeletal system throughout the work day. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty usual methods of managing and trying to prevent pain. Most recommendations 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 reduce pain, fatigue, and discomfort in the upper extremities and neck of workers. (3) That is a promising idea. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn sees the value in taking care of oneself at home and in the workplace!
