Common types of injuries at work
Despite precautions, workplace injuries are extremely common. Improper lifting techniques and slip and fall accidents can cause cuts and lacerations and more. At our chiropractic clinic, we see a lot of repetitive strain injuries. Repetitive twisting and turning while lifting heavy loads can lead to acute and chronic pain and muscle strain. Common repetitive stress injuries include:
- Frozen shoulder
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Sciatica
- Backache
- Arthritis
- Slipped and herniated discs
If you’re experiencing any of the above, give Effective Chiropractic a call. Our trained Lanham, MD, chiropractors will provide adjustments for pain relief, pain management, and long-term recovery.
How to prevent an injury
The best way to prevent an injury from happening is to prepare yourself. Wear appropriate shoes and clothing, watch out for hazardous conditions like wet surfaces, and do your best to lift and carry heavy items with the proper techniques. Repetitive actions at your job may be unavoidable, so take breaks if possible and stretch regularly.
If you’re recovering from an injury, try not to overstrain yourself and continue to receive treatment. Regular treatment at Effective Chiropractic also helps you prevent further injuries down the road.
What to do after an injury has occurred
If you’ve been injured on the job, notify your supervisor/manager right away. Seek medical treatment as soon as possible and follow your doctor’s instructions.
