Chiropractic Care Patients Miss Less Work

Dr. Dennis helps several individuals from the West Palm Beach community that are injured on the job. According to the National Safety Council, the most routine kind of work injury is musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which include trauma to the muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments and joints. MSDs account for more than one third of all workplace injuries.

The most usual type of MSD is a strain, which is trauma to a muscle or tendon. Strains can be caused by lifting, pushing or pulling too much weight, or by doing repetitive movements. Other typical MSDs are carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back issues.

These injuries can be prevented by using appropriate lifting techniques, taking many breaks and using ergonomic devices. Employers can also help put a stop to injuries by providing their employees educational sources on avoiding getting hurt at work.
