Ergonomics have long been the culprit in many of the musculoskeletal disorders Fairfield area workers experience who visit Kosak Chiropractic for treatment. Although many employers have made changes to create more supportive work environments, injury may still be experienced for those who work in fields requiring repetitious movement and strenuous activity. Your chiropractor is your ally when treating musculoskeletal disorders.
Posture, Repetition, and Heavy Lifting May Result in Injury
Disorders including carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and muscle strain are often the result of substandard work conditions. Repeated movement, over-exertion of the muscles by lifting, pushing, or pulling heavy items, and working in hunched, stretched, or awkward positions can lead to injury. Prolonged periods of sitting, standing, and even typing may also contribute to musculoskeletal conditions requiring care. Making changes to your work environment is a great start to avoiding injury and should be discussed with your supervisors. When you are experiencing pain, treatment is your next step. Working with a chiropractor is an excellent way to maximize your potential for recovery.
