Chiropractic Treatment Patients Miss Less Work

Jefferson Spine & Injury Center helps many patients from the Arlington area 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 ordinary 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 engaging in repetitive movements. Other common MSDs involve carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back pain.

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