Chiropractic Therapy Gets You Back to Work Faster

Gadsden Family Chiropractic sees a lot of patients from the Gadsden community who are harmed at work. According to the National Safety Council, the most common 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 frequent 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 doing repetitive movements. Other typical MSDs are carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back pain.

These injuries can be prevented by using appropriate lifting techniques, taking many breaks and using ergonomic devices. Employers can also help put a stop to injuries by giving their employees educational sources on preventing getting hurt at work.
