Chiropractic Treatment Gets You Back to Work Faster

Lenexa Chiropractic Treatment Helps Reduce Missed Days at Work

Dr. Isom sees many individuals from the Lenexa region that are hurt at work. According to the National Safety Council, the most frequent type of work injury is musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which include injuries 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 can be 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 avoided by using appropriate lifting techniques, taking several breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help prevent injuries by giving their employees educational sources on how to avoid getting hurt on the job.
