Dr. Holland treats several individuals from the North County St. Louis, MO region who are harmed while working. According to the National Safety Council, the most common 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 usual 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 doing repetitive movements. Other common MSDs are carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back discomfort.
These injuries can be stopped by using proper lifting techniques, taking several breaks and using ergonomic devices. Employers can also help put a stop to injuries by providing their employees educational materials on how to avoid getting hurt on the job.
Back problems and injuries are a routine issue that Dr. Holland sees in our #Ciyt# office and we also work with folks who have shoulder or neck problems.
