Faster Work Injury Recovery with Chiropractic Therapy

Dr. Holland treats several individuals from the North County St. Louis, MO community who are injured at work. According to the National Safety Council, the most ordinary 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 trauma to a muscle or tendon. Strains are caused by lifting, pushing or pulling too much weight, or by repetitive movements. Other typical MSDs include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back problems.

These injuries can be prevented by using appropriate lifting techniques, taking several breaks and using ergonomic devices. Employers can also help put a stop to injuries by providing their employees educational data on preventing getting hurt at work.
