Neuromusculor Health Have you ever injured yourself at work? Or even felt stiff and achy after a long day? If you're like most Americans, you're probably answering yes. But can you say your job ranks as one of the four riskiest when it comes to your neuromusculoskeletal health? Of all manual laborers, construction workers are probably in most danger of risking their neuromusculoskeletal health because of the heavy lifting and bending they endure. The result is back and lowback pain. Advice for those who have to do heavy lifting is to measure the load first to make sure they can lift it. Next, they should prepare themselves for lifting by placing their feet in proper alignment and squaring their body to the load. If necessary, make two trips instead of one. But probably the most important thing all manual laborers can do to prevent injury is to warm up and do stretches (especially for the legs and back) both before and throughout the workday. Out of all the people in the transportation industry, truck drivers face the most discomfort and stress to the lower back. Combine managing heavy loads with prolonged sitting and vibration, and you have a sure recipe for injuries to the disks between the vertebrae in the lower spine. Truck drivers should take regular breaks to stretch out and exercise. In this age of computer dependency, people are spending hours at their desk, their keyboard and their phone, making themselves prone to back, shoulder, neck, arm and wrist injuries, such as cervical strain and carpal tunnel syndrome. The most important way to avoid these injuries is to be ergonomically aware. Your body should always be square to the keyboard and monitor, with your feet placed firmly on the ground. Never hold your phone in the crook of your neck. You should be using a headset instead. Make sure your chair offers proper lumbar support, and that the height and armrests are adjustable. The armrests should ideally be three-quarter length; when seated, your elbows should be parallel to your wrists when they are on the keyboard. Wrist pads for typing are recommended. Take frequent breaks and stretches to relax muscles, and get blood flowing properly in the body. Farmers endure a lot of physical tension by bending, lifting and driving. Depending on the vehicles and equipment they use they can also endure plenty of harmful vibration, as well as repetitive strain injuries caused by manual activities such as plowing or even hammering. The best preventive measures are stretching and proper lifting. Most importantly, listen to your body when it tells you it needs a rest. If your job didn't make the top four, don't assume neuromusculoskeletal injuries can't happen to you. If you do find yourself injured or just suffering from everyday aches and pains, your chiropractor can help.

We do not endorse some of their doctrines although we believe they do love YAHUSHUA, also called in Greek JESUS CHRIST. We believe in the rapture, we believe there is a hell eternal, we believe to be absent from the body is to be present with YAHUSHUA, also named in Greek JESUS CHRIST. Seventh-Day Adventists believe the lie of soul sleep. Remember the thief hanging on the cross who, because he believed on Him, was told by YAHUSHUA, "Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43, KJV) We know that Prophecy did not cease with Ellen G. White and Seventh-Day Adventists believe in Ellen G. White as the only prophet for today, though she is dead and what she prophesied did not come to pass. We believe in Keeping the true Sabbath, for it is the 4th commandment, but we don't believe it takes the place of the saving blood of YAHUSHUA (JESUS CHRIST). * * * * * * *
