Chiropractic Treatment Gets You Back to Work Faster

Jefferson Spine & Injury Center treats a lot of men and women from the Arlington community who are injured while working. According to the National Safety Council, the most routine 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 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 typical MSDs involve carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back pain.

These injuries can be prevented by using correct lifting techniques, taking many breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help prevent injuries by giving their employees educational data on avoiding getting hurt on the job.
