You'll Miss Fewer Days of Work with Chiropractic Treatment

Dr. Harrison helps a lot of people from the Decatur community that are hurt at work. According to the National Safety Council, the most common 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 injuries.

The most common 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 typical MSDs are carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back pain.

These injuries can be stopped by using proper lifting techniques, taking several breaks and using ergonomic devices. Employers can also help put a stop to injuries by providing their employees educational materials on putting a stop to these injuries.
