You'll Miss Fewer Days of Work with Chiropractic Therapy

Dr. Holland sees several patients from the Downtown St. Louis, MO area who are harmed at work. According to the National Safety Council, the most routine kind 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 injuries.

The most usual 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 doing repetitive movements. Other typical MSDs are 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 prevent injuries by providing their employees educational data on preventing getting hurt at work.
