In the dental field, there are many risk factors the profession faces. Our goal is to prevent work related injuries through the reduction and/or elimination of ergonomic risk factors, such as: substantial repetition, frequent extended arm repetition, static loading in a sustained and/or awkward posture, a high % of the day spent using hands and fingers, along with a variety of environmental factors (heat, cold, vibration, etc…_).
We address these risk factors by offering a variety of recommendations and education on proper seating and standing options, posture & positions, reaching styles and the handling/gripping of tools.
Whether you are in an office setting, working in remote locations as a dentist, hygienist or other professional within the field, we can offer solutions to the discomfort you face at work.
