Work
Injuries
Chiropractic provides effective non surgical care for
musculoskeletal injuries, such as back injuries,
lifting, twisting and movement injuries, and repetitive
strain injuries.
About Musculoskeletal Injuries
Frequent or heavy lifting, pushing, pulling, or
carrying of heavy objects; prolonged awkward postures;
repetitive, forceful, or prolonged exertions; and
vibration contribute to musculoskeletal injuries. Jobs
or working conditions that combine the above risk
factors will increase the risk for musculoskeletal
problems. The level of risk depends on how long a
worker is exposed to these conditions, how often they
are exposed, and the level of exposure. The following
are some of the most common work related injuries:
Lifting, Twisting and Movement Injuries
These kinds of injuries can be sudden or repetitive in
nature. Sudden injuries often require chiropractic
treatment to restore proper joint function so the body
can recover appropriately. Chiropractic, with massage
and other complementary therapies as indicated, can
correct the injury. Education can show you how to
recondition properly so that future injuries can be
avoided.
Strain Injuries
Overuse injuries are slowly appearing aches and pains,
stiffness or injuries, which occur with excessive or
repetetive activity. They include strains, tendonitis,
muscle soreness and stress fracture of the bone. The
warning signs are aches and pains, which gradually get
worse as one continues with the activity. The most
vulnerable parts of the body are knees, the back,
wrists, neck and shoulders. Repetetive strain injuries
cannot usually be exercised away, neither does resting
resolve the injury. An evaluation by your chiropractic
physician will determine the best course of care for
rehabilitation of your injury.
Insurance
We work closely with many employers and worker’s
compensation insurance and are familiar with their
requirements. We will work closely with your insurance
company in an effort to ensure you have one less
worry.
