Chiropractors often see patients who are experiencing back pain as a result of day-to-day activities like heavy lifting or improper posture. To combat these issues, there are two leading methods for injury prevention recommended by the team at Eastern Hills Chiropractic in Cincinnati, OH: Backsafe® and Sittingsafe®. Their knowledgeable staff can explain the advantages of these effective programs.

Designed by Future Industrial Technologies (FIT), Backsafe is an injury-prevention training program that helps workers avoid back strain. It not only will keep your employees safe but reduce your workers’ compensation expenses.

Product handling and distribution workers can benefit tremendously from the Backsafe method, but they’re not the only ones who will experience its advantages. Workers whose jobs require extensive mobility, such as nurses, police officers, firefighters, and construction workers, can use the training to move in a biomechanically correct way to reduce their injury risks.

Employees who sit for most of their workday should consider a chiropractor-approved workshop to help them maintain wellness. Sitting for hours at a time can put significant strain on your body, which is why FIT’s Sittingsafe technique is ideal for office workers. It can minimize the risk of chronic back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other cumulative trauma injuries by teaching employees how to maintain an ergonomically safe posture.
