You'll Miss Fewer Days of Work with Chiropractic Adjustments

Dr. Alpert treats quite a few individuals from the Jonesboro region that are hurt on the job. 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 frequent 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 common MSDs involve carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back problems.

These injuries can be avoided by using appropriate lifting techniques, taking many breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help prevent injuries by providing their employees educational data on preventing these injuries.
