Accidents in the Workplace | Ambler Chiropractic

An alarming number of workplace accidents cause bodily harm. Employers are liable for medical care related to accidents on the job. Dr. Scott Solomon, a Horsham chiropractor, speeds-up healing time and pain relief for the employee and concurrently saves the employer money for workman's comp claims.

Training, personal protective equipment, and preventative measures could preempt a majority of job related injuries. Frequent falls are a widespread cause of accidents. Adequate lighting and good housekeeping could likely avert accidental tripping, falling or slipping from objects on floors.

Falling from high places, like ladders or roofs, often end in serious back, neck or head injury. Dr. Solomon and the staff at The Wellness Studio are extensively trained in state-of-the-art procedures and sophisticated equipment to evaluate the employee's immediate and ongoing health care needs.

Recent statistics support that strains and/or sprains are responsible for 41% of accidents at work that led to workdays missed. It was determined that the leading causes were falls or overexertion. Musculoskeletal ailments created 30% of time off work. Chiropractic care is now considered a first-line treatment for spinal related abnormalities.

A prime reason accidents at work occur is non-compliance of safety procedures. All employees should remain mindful of their safety and the safety of others.
