How many times do we refer to something as a
pain in the neck? Ever call your job a pain in the
neck? (Be truthful! Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn won’t tell
your boss!) Certain work tasks
can be a pain
in the neck…literally. Some easy exercises and Ashburn
chiropractic care could ease your neck pain gently and well.
PAIN IN THE NECK OFFICE WORK
Researchers have a formal name for your job’s
pain in the neck problem - work-related neck-shoulder pain. Adding
motor control training and ergonomic workspace modification advice
for workplace motions and postures brought about
positive and sustainable value in decreasing
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 documented
that the extra training in how to do neck
and shoulder stretches twice daily every work
day (5 days weekly) really helped in the month long
program. Further, those who did the exercises less than 3 times
a week reported less improvement than those who did
them more than 3 times a week. Doing the neck and shoulder
exercises better 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 3 months and ranked their pain as 5 or
more on a scale of 10 points with 10 being the most painful pain. (2) Imagine what benefit
these types of exercises could do for early stage neck and shoulder
pain office-working patients! Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn has the neck exercises for
