Believe it or not, ergonomics can make your job easier and keep your workforce safer. Simple things like sitting up straight while typing or lifting heavy objects with your legs instead of your back can save you a great deal of pain. Here at Health First Chiropractic and Rehabilitation, we can treat you if you’ve been injured on the job. However, we’d rather you follow these ergonomic principles to reduce the risk factors that lead to discomfort.
- All work activities should permit the worker to adopt several different, but equally healthy and safe postures.
- Where muscular force has to be exerted it should be done by the largest appropriate muscle groups available.
- Work activities should be performed with the joints at about mid-point of their range of movement. This applies particularly to the head, trunk, and upper limbs.
If you have questions about ergonomics, please give us a call. To schedule an appointment in any of our Triad locations including our Greensboro, NC office, call us at 336-543-2231 or visit the Health First Chiropractic and Rehabilitation website, www.hstriad.com.
