Dr. Nowak treats many folks from the South Buffalo community who are injured on the job. According to the National Safety Council, the most ordinary type of work injury is musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which involves trauma to the muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments and joints. MSDs account for more than one third of all workplace accidents.
The most routine 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 include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back issues.
These injuries can be avoided by using correct lifting techniques, taking several breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help put a stop to injuries by giving their employees educational data on avoiding getting hurt on the job.
