Workplace Injury Chiropractor

When workplace injuries impair your ability to perform your usual work, it also affects  recreational activities and overall quality of life. If you have been injured on the JOB, make sure you get the expertise and level of care needed to get you back to FULL DUTY.

Chiropractic care along with physical therapy is often the best treatment option for treatment of  workplace injuries:

• Back Injuries (sprains, strains, disc problems)
• Neck Injuries (sprains, strains, joint dysfunction)
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Headaches (caused by muscle tension & joint dysfunction)
• Bursitis
• Tendinitis
• Rotator Cuff & Elbow Ligament Tears
• Extremity Numbness and Tingling

Most Common Injuries are Back Injuries & Carpal Tunnel Syndrome -- CTS

Not all work-related injuries happen in the construction industry. In fact, quite a number of injuries we treat occurred in the office. Carpal tunnel syndrome and chronic neck pain can be caused by poor ergonomics or poor posture. One misstep on a wet break room floor could lead to a herniated disc. Improper lifting of a heavy box could result in chronic back pain.

One of the most common work injuries we handle on a regular basis is a back injury, which is usually the result of a herniated disc, although poor posture can exacerbate back pain. Many of our patients spend hours sitting at a computer, which strains muscles causing stiffness and soreness. Sometimes the solution is as simple as fixing poor ergonomics at the office, including adjusting chair height, moving the computer to a different spot, or providing back support.

Hours spent on the computer can cause another type of workplace injury known as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Patients suffering from this painful condition feel a burning sensation and experience difficulty gripping objects. Swelling around the median nerve in the wrist causes pain from pressure placed on the nerve.
