Injuries in today’s workplace involve the neuro-musculoskeletal system 60%-70% of the time. Construction workers, nurses and truck drivers top the list. Office workers can also suffer occupational injuries from repetitive motions such as typing on computers, while sitting too long can aggravate and even cause a lower back condition. These musculoskeletal injuries are what a general chiropractor specializes in treating.
