You'll Miss Fewer Days of Work with Chiropractic Treatment

Depew Chiropractic Adjustments Helps Reduce Missed Days at Work

Dr. Palmer sees quite a few folks from the Depew region that are injured while working. According to the National Safety Council, the most ordinary type of work injury is musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which involves injuries to the muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments and joints. MSDs account for more than one third of all workplace accidents.

The most common 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 repetitive movements. Other typical MSDs are carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back problems.

These injuries can be prevented by using correct lifting techniques, taking several breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help avoid injuries by providing their employees educational sources on how to avoid getting hurt at work.
