ChiroWerx treats a lot of men and women from the Charlotte, NC community who are hurt while working. According to the National Safety Council, the most usual type 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 accidents.
The most ordinary type of MSD is a strain, which is an injury to a muscle or tendon. Strains are caused by lifting, pushing or pulling too much weight, or by engaging in repetitive movements. Other common MSDs include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back problems.
These injuries can be avoided by using proper lifting techniques, taking several breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help put a stop to injuries by providing their employees educational sources on how to avoid them.
Back issues and injuries are a routine issue that ChiroWerx sees in our #Ciyt# office and we also work with patients who have shoulder or neck discomfort.
If you have suffered a work injury or accident and live in the Charlotte, NC region, give ChiroWerx a call and make an appointment today. We will help you to create a treatment plan that will help you recover and do our best to have you back on the job as fast as possible!
