Chiropractic for the active: Preventing and treating MSDs

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs)

MSDs encompass all soft tissue conditions (muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves) related to professional activity and their consequences.
These injuries occur in the joints of the upper and lower limbs or the spine. Painful in nature, they can also lead to loss of strength or mobility.
MSDs are the most common occupational diseases. If left untreated, they can result in chronic disabilities.

How to Recognize MSDs?

Muscle fatigue, tingling, numbness, or localized pain—MSD symptoms can vary widely.
Initially, they appear only during activity and disappear at rest, without affecting work capacity. However, if the condition worsens, symptoms may persist even after work and lead to reduced work abilities.

What to Expect from Chiropractic Care for MSDs?

Chiropractors address MSDs at two levels: treatment and prevention.
Their treatments aim to restore joint mobility and reduce pain.
With a holistic approach to health, chiropractors complement their care with advice to enhance the benefits of treatment.
