Chiropractic Therapy Patients Miss Less Work

Dr. Cohen helps many people from the Holtsville area that are injured on the job. According to the National Safety Council, the most ordinary 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 ordinary 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 doing repetitive movements. Other typical MSDs are carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back issues.

These injuries can be avoided by using correct lifting techniques, taking many breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help avoid injuries by giving their employees educational data on avoiding them.
