Dr. Nowak helps many men and women from the South Buffalo community who are harmed while working. According to the National Safety Council, the most frequent kind of work injury is musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which include injuries 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 an injury 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 involve carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back discomfort.
These injuries can be stopped by using proper lifting techniques, taking several breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help avoid injuries by giving their employees educational data on putting a stop to them.
