Chiropractic Adjustments Gets You Back to Work Faster

Drs. Matt & Annie Reyes treats many men and women from the State College community that are hurt on the job. According to the National Safety Council, the most routine 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 can be caused by lifting, pushing or pulling too much weight, or by repetitive movements. Other typical MSDs include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back pain.

These injuries can be avoided by using proper lifting techniques, taking several breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help avoid injuries by providing their employees educational materials on putting a stop to getting hurt at work.
