Brooklyn Heights Chiropractic Adjustments Helps Reduce Missed Days at Work

Dr. Jonathan A. Spitz, DC helps quite a few folks from the Brooklyn Heights region that are injured at work. According to the National Safety Council, the most frequent 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 usual 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 pain.

These injuries can be stopped by using appropriate lifting techniques, taking several breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help avoid injuries by giving their employees educational sources on preventing getting hurt at work.
