Faster Work Injury Recovery with Chiropractic Treatment

Depew Chiropractic Therapy Helps Lessen Missed Days at Work

Dr. Palmer sees quite a few people from the Depew area who are hurt at work. According to the National Safety Council, the most common kind of work injury is musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which involves injuries to the muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments and joints. MSDs account for more than one third of all workplace accidents.

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 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 prevent injuries by providing their employees educational data on putting a stop to these injuries.
