Springfield Chiropractic Treatment Helps Lessen Missed Days at Work

Dr. Delson helps many patients from the Springfield region that are injured on the job. According to the National Safety Council, the most routine 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 routine type of MSD is a strain, which is an injury to a muscle or tendon. Strains can be caused by lifting, pushing or pulling too much weight, or by repetitive movements. Other typical MSDs involve carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back discomfort.

These injuries can be avoided by using correct lifting techniques, taking frequent breaks and using ergonomic devices. Employers can also help put a stop to injuries by giving their employees educational materials on putting a stop to getting hurt at work.
