Chiropractic Treatment Patients Miss Less Work

Dr. Russell treats many patients from the Henderson 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 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 engaging in repetitive movements. Other typical MSDs are carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back discomfort.

These injuries can be prevented by using appropriate lifting techniques, taking several breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help put a stop to injuries by providing their employees educational materials on how to avoid these injuries.
