You'll Miss Fewer Days of Work with Chiropractic Therapy

Arlington Chiropractic Adjustments Helps Lessen Missed Days at Work

Dr. Ernst sees several men and women from the Arlington area that are hurt on the job. According to the National Safety Council, the most ordinary type 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 common 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 doing repetitive movements. Other common MSDs include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back issues.

These injuries can be avoided by using appropriate lifting techniques, taking several breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help avoid injuries by giving their employees educational sources on avoiding getting hurt on the job.
