Chiropractic Treatment Patients Miss Less Work

Dr. Ellis treats a lot of men and women from the Woburn area that are hurt at work. According to the National Safety Council, the most ordinary kind of work injury is musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which involves trauma to the muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments and joints. MSDs account for more than one third of all workplace accidents.

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 engaging in repetitive movements. Other typical MSDs involve carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back pain.

These injuries can be prevented by using correct lifting techniques, taking many breaks and using ergonomic devices. Employers can also help avoid injuries by providing their employees educational sources on putting a stop to these injuries.
