Dr. Nowak treats a lot of patients from the South Buffalo community who are harmed while working. According to the National Safety Council, the most routine type 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 injuries.
The most ordinary 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 engaging in repetitive movements. Other typical MSDs involve carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back problems.
These injuries can be stopped by using appropriate lifting techniques, taking frequent breaks and using ergonomic devices. Employers can also help avoid injuries by providing their employees educational data on putting a stop to getting hurt at work.
