Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Work Injuries
Our chiropractor will assess your musculoskeletal system to determine the root cause of your discomfort. Chiropractic care will realign your musculoskeletal system, relieving your pain and allowing your body to heal itself naturally and effectively.
For many of our patients, this is vastly preferable to masking the pain with prescription medication or agreeing to invasive surgery.
When you suffer an injury, you must choose a reputable healthcare provider to restore your health. You have the right to choose a suitable chiropractor, and do not need to see anyone your employer tells you to see. As a worker, you have the right to see whomever you want for work injury relief.
Exact chiropractic adjustments performed will vary depending on the location and severity of your injury. We combine personalized treatment with nutritional counseling and massage therapy to maximize the benefits of chiropractic care.
Over time, chiropractic care will reduce your pain, improve your range of motion, and enhance your body’s natural healing process.
Below are some common workplace injuries and how our chiropractor can address them.
Common Workplace Injuries
Depending on the type of work you do, work injuries can occur instantaneously or after an extended period of overuse. Drivers, for example, are susceptible to lumbar, sciatica, and whiplash after a collision.
People who sit in the office the whole day are susceptible to chronic musculoskeletal strain. Neck overextension is another common work injury and can cause ligament and muscle strains.
Other common workplace injuries include:
Pinched nerves: Pinched nerves result in tingling, numbness, and pain in the extremities.
Carpal tunnel syndrome: This injury is characterized by tissue inflammation in the wrist resulting in debilitating compression. These workplace injuries are mainly caused by long hours of writing and typing.
Tendonitis: Tendonitis is a workplace injury mainly caused by chronic overuse of the knee, wrist, shoulder, and elbow.
Neck or back strain: Neck and back pain is often caused by awkward position when using mobile devices or computer monitors that are too low.
