Labor Day Weekend is almost here and we’ve been thinking about all the patients who come to us for treatment for workplace injuries. You may think that just because your job isn’t physically demanding means you can’t sustain a workplace injury, but that’s just not true. Here are some of the injuries to look out for while working and how chiropractic can help.
Workplace Injuries
No matter what type of injury you have, it is sure to come with frustration but especially when it prevents you from completing your daily tasks at your job. Some workplace injuries occur due to accidents, but many are the results of stress and strain put on your body by doing the same motion repeatedly. That’s why working a desk job can be just as hazardous to your health as what are considered more physically demanding jobs. These injuries include:
Back pain
Neck pain
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Headaches
Sprains
Tendonitis
Nerve damage
With the help of chiropractic care, these injuries can be treated and even avoided in the first place.
Workplace Injury Diagnosis
When you come to Healthy Life Chiropractic with an issue – including reduced range of motion, pain, or discomfort – we will first work to find the underlying cause of your symptoms. This approach is the best way to attack the root cause of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms.
Your first visit will start with a consultation to understand more about your lifestyle, job, and other factors that contribute to the pain you are experiencing. A complete medical history will also help in our understanding of how to best treat the problems you are dealing with and once all information is gathered, we can develop a treatment custom to your needs.
Chiropractic Treatments: Natural, Effective, and Safe
A chiropractic treatment plan is one that many of our patients enjoy! Not only can adjustments be relaxing, but they are natural, non-invasive, and effective at treating pain. Along with hands-on chiropractic adjustments to eliminate joint restrictions and dysfunctions, we also use massage therapy, spinal decompression, and other natural treatments. We can even recommend stretches and exercises to do at home to get the most out of your adjustments along with health, wellness, and lifestyle recommendations.
