Dr. Holland treats quite a few people from the Downtown St. Louis, MO area who are injured while working. According to the National Safety Council, the most frequent 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 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 doing repetitive movements. Other typical MSDs are carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back issues.
These injuries can be stopped by using correct lifting techniques, taking many breaks and using ergonomic tools. Employers can also help avoid injuries by giving their employees educational materials on avoiding them.
Back problems and injuries are a routine problem that Dr. Holland sees in our #Ciyt# office and we also work with patients who have shoulder or neck pain.
