3 Reasons to See a Chiropractor After a Work-Related Injury

Accidents happen, even at work. If you’ve been injured on the job and are now experiencing neck pain, back pain, or some other dysfunction, it’s important to see a chiropractor as soon as you’ve been medically cleared by your physician.

What Is a Work-Related Injury?

Even people with desk jobs can sustain an injury at work! While individual factors vary–including location, severity, and type of injury–the most common work-related injuries include:

Spinal disc herniation
Spinal facet joint locking
Chronic back or neck pain
Muscle strain or spasm
Rotator cuff injury
Whiplash
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Mechanisms of injury include repetitive use, prolonged overhead movement, heavy lifting, and/or improper body mechanics or ergonomics.

Top 3 Reasons Why Chiropractic Care Can Help With Your Work-Related Injury

1. Faster healing and pain-relief. Chiropractic care includes treatments that accelerate tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and promote pain relief–often faster than prescription medications alone. Treatment may include spinal decompression, corrective exercise prescription, and chiropractic adjustments.

2. Drug-free and all natural services. We offer safe, effective, non-invasive and drug-free treatment options that pose little to no risk of side effects for you, including complementary interventions such as acupuncture and massage therapy.

3. Prevention of chronic dysfunction. The team at Rumley Family Chiropractic P.A. performs a thorough physical and neurological examination to identify your active symptoms AND identify and resolve the underlying cause. Potential underlying causes that make you more at risk for a work-related injury may include muscle-length imbalances, postural abnormalities, or even decreased mobility and energy flow within the spine.
