Chiropractic Adjustments Gets You Back to Work Faster

Dr. Lach treats a lot of individuals from the Corvallis community that are injured on the job. 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 accidents.

The most frequent 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 involve carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back discomfort.

These injuries can be prevented by using correct lifting techniques, taking several breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help avoid injuries by providing their employees educational sources on avoiding getting hurt on the job.
