When people think of work-related injuries, they typically are quick to overlook the most common types of injuries involved on the job. The truth is, the vast majority of injuries that occur at the workplace are often due to activities that involve repetitive overuse. This should be of concern to nearly all of us! This means that many work-related injuries aren't a matter of if, rather a matter of when.
There is still good news! These types of repetitive injuries can often be predicted and largely prevented with proactive conservative chiropractic care. Whether it's sitting at a desk, typing emails, or moving and lifting heavy objects, usually the task seems normal. However, performing these tasks consistently using poor body mechanics, or posture can lead to big problems down the road.
