Bridesburg Spine and Injury Clinic sees quite a few individuals from the Philadelphia area who are hurt while working. According to the National Safety Council, the most frequent kind of work injury is musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which include injuries to the muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments and joints. MSDs account for more than one third of all workplace injuries.
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 include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back issues.
These injuries can be stopped by using correct lifting techniques, taking frequent breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help put a stop to injuries by giving their employees educational materials on putting a stop to these injuries.
