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 time or another. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre sees the pain! Many Toronto back pain and neck pain patients who come to chiropractic bring stories of work-related pain. We are here to help!

TREATING AND PREVENTING WORKPLACE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN

Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is poised in its ability to relieve and handle work-related musculoskeletal pain for our Toronto 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 followed. 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 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. (2) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre appreciates 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 throughout the work day. Exercise, education, ergonomic direction, massage are pretty usual ways of managing and trying to prevent pain. Most recommendations like this were for workers to do on their own time. Recently, researchers suggested the value of specific, individualized, resistance strengthening exercises in the workplace to decrease pain, fatigue, and discomfort in the neck and upper extremities 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!
