Faster Work Injury Recovery with Chiropractic Adjustments

Dr. Poelking helps a lot of people from the Kettering area who are harmed at work. According to the National Safety Council, the most ordinary kind 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 common 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 typical MSDs involve carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back pain.

These injuries can be stopped by using correct lifting techniques, taking several breaks and using ergonomic devices. Employers can also help prevent injuries by giving their employees educational materials on preventing getting hurt on the job.
