You'll Miss Fewer Days of Work with Chiropractic Adjustments

Dr. Six sees quite a few patients from the Great Falls community who are harmed while working. 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 usual type of MSD is a strain, which is trauma to a muscle or tendon. Strains are 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 problems.

These injuries can be stopped by using proper lifting techniques, taking many breaks and using ergonomic devices. Employers can also help avoid injuries by giving their employees educational sources on putting a stop to them.
