Dr. Swanson helps a lot of individuals from the Texarkana, Atlanta region who are harmed on the job. According to the National Safety Council, the most ordinary kind 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 common 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 engaging in repetitive movements. Other common MSDs are carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back issues.
These injuries can be stopped by using correct lifting techniques, taking many breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help avoid injuries by giving their employees educational sources on preventing getting hurt on the job.
Back problems and injuries are a common problem that Dr. Swanson sees in our #Ciyt# office and we also work with people who have shoulder or neck problems.
