You'll Miss Fewer Days of Work with Chiropractic Care

Alexandria Chiropractic Therapy Helps Lessen Missed Days at Work

Dr. Wagner treats several patients from the Alexandria area that are hurt while working. According to the National Safety Council, the most common kind 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 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 doing repetitive movements. Other typical MSDs include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back discomfort.

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 sources on how to avoid getting hurt at work.
