For workers with persistent neck and shoulder pain , evidence supports mixed supervised and unsupervised high-intensity strength training or advice alone ( grade s I-III NAD ) .
A multimodal approach including manual therapy , self-management advice , and exercise is an effective treatment strategy for both recent-onset and persistent neck pain
OBJECTIVE The objective was to develop a clinical practice guideline on the management of neck pain-associated disorders ( NADs ) and whiplash-associated disorders ( WADs ) .
This guideline replaces 2 prior chiropractic guidelines on NADs and WADs .
A Tailored Workplace Exercise Program for Women at Risk for Neck and Upper Limb Musculoskeletal Disorders: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Objective : The aim of this study was to evaluate a tailored physical activity protocol performed in a work environment with a group of female workers employed in manual precision tasks to reduce upper limb pain . Methods : Sixty female subjects were r and omly assigned to an intervention group or a control group . The IG was administered of a 6-month , twice-a-week , tailored exercise program , whereas the CG received no intervention . Results : The IG showed a reduction on shoulder pain accompanied by increases on the range of motion measures . In addition , reductions in upper limb pain and neck disability were detected with concomitant increases in grip strength . Conclusions : This study indicated positive effects of a tailored workplace exercise protocol in female workers exposed to moderate risk for work-related musculoskeletal disorders , showing clinical ly meaningful reductions of pain symptoms and disability on upper limb and neck regions
