Chiropractic Adjustments Patients Miss Less Work

Dr. Dalton sees several folks from the Rochester Hills area that are injured on the job. According to the National Safety Council, the most usual 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 common type of MSD is a strain, which is an injury to a muscle or tendon. Strains can be caused by lifting, pushing or pulling too much weight, or by engaging in repetitive movements. Other typical MSDs include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back discomfort.

These injuries can be avoided by using proper lifting techniques, taking many breaks and using ergonomic devices. Employers can also help avoid injuries by giving their employees educational materials on how to avoid getting hurt on the job.
