Chiropractic Adjustments Gets You Back to Work Faster

Dr. Slater sees several men and women from the Saint Paul area that are injured while working. According to the National Safety Council, the most routine kind of work injury is musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which include injuries 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 an injury to a muscle or tendon. Strains are caused by lifting, pushing or pulling too much weight, or by repetitive movements. Other common MSDs include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back pain.

These injuries can be stopped by using correct lifting techniques, taking frequent breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help avoid injuries by giving their employees educational sources on avoiding getting hurt on the job.
