Preventing other types of musculoskeletal injury
As we all know there are countless ways that we can injure ourselves, so what we will try to address are some basic prevention recommendations to help keep you from injuring or re-injuring your muscles, bones and joints.
To help prevent falls:
Make sure that hallways and stairwells are well lit.
Remove or repair anything that could make you trip (loose rugs, electrical cords, toys, etc.)
Install handrails on inside and outside stairways.
Install traction strips in bathtubs.
Rub the bottoms of new shoes on a rough surface, such as concrete before using them to avoid slipping.
If you live in a cold climate be sure to put salt or sand on the walkways.
When you are away from home:
Watch out for slippery surfaces, curbs and other obstructions while walking.
Always wear seat belts while in the car.
Never drive after drinking alcohol or while taking certain medications.
Be alert for hazards in your workplace and follow all safety rules.
Magnetic therapy has been shown to be very effective in relieving the symptoms of chronic musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. Numerous scientific studies and articles are available to you in the Learning Center.
Orthopedic supports and braces have been shown to be very effective in the prevention of injury and for the relief of musculoskeletal symptoms due to an injury or chronic condition. A large-scale study conducted by UCLA on the use of back supports in the work place for prevention of injury, found there was a 34% drop in on-the-job injuries after the back-support policy was implemented.
