| Employees: The best way to
avoid the inconvenience and cost of a painful musculoskeletal condition/injury
is to prevent the injury in the first place. Injury prevention is
a mindset. Employees who understand injury prevention actively pursue
the "wheel of health" that includes a balance between mind, body,
and spirit. To prevent injury, follow these simple rules: • Read the Bible and pray daily. • Stretch regularly. • Engage in weight resistive exercise three times per week. • Engage in aerobic exercise at least three times per week. • Eat healthy and avoid junk food. • Drink plenty of water. • Rest your mind, escape to your quiet room/area daily. • Take quality vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants. • Consult a Doctor of Chiropractic to correct spinal subluxations regularly to maintain your nervous system and spinal integrity. • Eat adequate amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables daily. • Practice intelligent ergonomics and avoid dangerous work situations. Employers also benefit by injury prevention when they implement proactive programs to encourage health and wellness. Call our office today and ask about Athletes at Work ™ In general employers should consider the following: • Pre-employment screening examinations. • Conduct daily pre-work stretching exercise classes for all employees. • Encourage safety at the work site. • Conduct periodic health and safety classes.
