Brief Summary  

It is always important know what are the common work related musculoskeletal injuries among beedi workers so that measures can be taken at the earliest to prevent it from further occurrence. And if therapeutic Ultrasound can locate and identify the soft tissue injuries, then the treatment directed by the Physical Therapist can be on the exact effected site. This in turn may help in better healing and thereby it may reduce the healing  time and promote faster recovery.
