With Labor Day just around the corner, we can’t help but think of all the patients we treat that come to us for relief from workplace injuries. You may not realize what an impact your job can have on your body. Even if it isn’t highly physical, there are many different kinds of injuries that can be sustained in the workplace. Here are some of the injuries you may face at work and how chiropractic can help you treat or avoid them altogether.
Common Workplace Injuries
If you sustain an injury at work that prevents you from getting your job done, it can be just as frustrating as it is painful. It can also put your job at risk. Some injuries are from accidents, but many are from completing tasks repetitively on a daily basis. There are many workplace injuries that can be treated or avoided with the help of chiropractic including:
Neck pain
Back pain
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Sprains
Headaches
Tendonitis
Nerve damage
Workplace Injury Diagnosis
When you come to Preferred Chiropractic with a specific complaint, like back pain, we will work with you to discover the root cause of the pain you are experiencing. This is often done through a series of questions about your job, lifestyle, and other contributing factors. A family and personal medical history is also helpful. Once we gather the information, we can use our education and experience to determine your problem and a treatment plan custom to your needs to treat the issue.
How Chiropractic Can Help Workplace Injuries
Once we have diagnosed your injury, your treatment plan will use natural, drug-free, non-invasive, and effective methods to address the injury. We are well-known for our effective chiropractic adjustments, but we are also experts in body mechanics so we can utilize other treatments like heat/ice therapy and massage therapy to help treat your injury so you can recover completely. We will work with you to determine the best treatment options for you and know that every treatment we offer has one goal: to restore your body to full function.
