Faster Work Injury Recovery with Chiropractic Treatment

Asheville Chiropractic Therapy Helps Reduce Missed Days at Work

Dr. Myers helps quite a few folks from the Asheville community who are injured while working. According to the National Safety Council, the most frequent type 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 routine 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 repetitive movements. Other typical MSDs are carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back discomfort.

These injuries can be prevented by using appropriate lifting techniques, taking many breaks and using ergonomic devices. Employers can also help avoid injuries by providing their employees educational materials on how to avoid them.
