Chiropractic Treatment Patients Miss Less Work

Dr. Scharf helps a lot of patients from the Parkland community that are harmed at work. According to the National Safety Council, the most frequent 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 accidents.

The most ordinary 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 problems.

These injuries can be stopped by using appropriate lifting techniques, taking several breaks and using ergonomic devices. Employers can also help put a stop to injuries by giving their employees educational sources on avoiding getting hurt on the job.
