Dr. Carradine sees a lot of individuals from the Boardman community who are harmed at work. According to the National Safety Council, the most frequent type 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 an injury to a muscle or tendon. Strains can be caused by lifting, pushing or pulling too much weight, or by engaging in repetitive movements. Other typical MSDs include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back issues.
These injuries can be stopped by using proper lifting techniques, taking many breaks and using ergonomic devices. Employers can also help prevent injuries by giving their employees educational sources on preventing getting hurt at work.
Back problems and injuries are a usual problem that Dr. Carradine sees in our #Ciyt# office and we also work with men and women who have shoulder or neck problems.
If you have suffered a work injury or accident and live in the Boardman community, give Dr. Carradine a call and make an appointment today. We will work with you to create a treatment plan that will help you recover and do our best to get you back on the job as fast as possible!
