Dr. Elganainy treats a lot of individuals from the Burton area that are injured while working. According to the National Safety Council, the most routine kind 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 frequent 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 engaging in repetitive movements. Other typical MSDs involve carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and back pain.
These injuries can be prevented by using appropriate lifting techniques, taking many breaks and using ergonomic devices. Employers can also help put a stop to injuries by providing their employees educational materials on preventing these injuries.
Back pain and injuries are a usual problem that Dr. Elganainy sees in our #Ciyt# office and we also work with individuals who have shoulder or neck pain.
If you have sustained a work injury or accident and live in the Burton community, give Dr. Elganainy a call and schedule an appointment today. We will help you to create a treatment plan that will help you recover and do our best to have you back on the job as quickly as possible!
