Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation treats many individuals from the Harrisburg community who are harmed while working. According to the National Safety Council, the most routine type of work injury is musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which include trauma 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 are caused by lifting, pushing or pulling too much weight, or by engaging in repetitive movements. Other common MSDs are carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back problems.
These injuries can be prevented by using appropriate lifting techniques, taking several breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help prevent injuries by giving their employees educational data on how to avoid them.
Back issues and injuries are a frequent problem that Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation sees in our #Ciyt# office and we also work with individuals who have shoulder or neck issues.
If you are suffering from a work injury or accident and live in the Harrisburg community, give Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation a call and make an appointment today.
