Chiropractic Care Gets You Back to Work Faster

Depew Chiropractic Care Helps Reduce Missed Days at Work

Dr. Palmer sees a lot of people from the Depew community that are injured at work. According to the National Safety Council, the most common type 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 accidents.

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 issues.

These injuries can be prevented by using correct lifting techniques, taking several breaks and using ergonomic devices. Employers can also help prevent injuries by providing their employees educational sources on preventing getting hurt on the job.
