Chiropractors for Work Related Injuries

A work related injury can be the source of significant pain and it can also lead to a temporary inability to perform your work duties. This pain and disability will not only take you off the job for a period of time, but it is likely to reduce your overall quality of life. Injuries that happen on the job can be caused by a variety of factors and they can occur in almost any workplace. It doesn’t matter whether you work in an office or if you operate heavy machinery for a living, a workplace injury can affect anyone at almost any time.

Workplace injuries tend to be the result of a few different factors. Some of injuries are caused by sudden trauma and others are the result of things like overworking, repetitive stress, undue stress on the body or poor ergonomics and posture. While a work related injury could impact any part of the body, the most common injuries are those that will affect the back.

How a chiropractor can help

Visiting a chiropractor can be a great treatment option when it comes to problems that are the result of a workplace injury. Chiropractors specialize in treating conditions that affect the musculoskeletal structure of the body and they usually employ a range of different techniques for treating all sorts of injuries.

  1. Manipulation – The chiropractor can use manual adjustments to realign body structures and to restore movement to joints. This can relieve pain, improve range of motion and reduce inflammation.
  2. Soft tissue rehabilitation – This type of treatment is intended toward reducing soreness, tightness and muscles spasms. It is similar to massage, but it requires more precision.
  3. Rehabilitative exercise – A chiropractor may employ this as part of the in-office treatment or they might prescribe it as part of a home program. The exercises will be designed toward improving function in the injured area and restoring strength.
  4. Preventative care – Most chiropractors will also engage in some level of preventative care. This could include educating the patient about certain factors that may have contributed to the injury or recommendations in regard to diet and lifestyle.

A doctor of chiropractic may use a variety of treatment options with the four listed above being some of the most common. They might also use things like electrical muscle stimulation or mechanical traction. When it comes to serious injuries that are causing pain and disability, a chiropractor knows that it typically takes a comprehensive treatment strategy that addresses not only the pain and disability, but also the causes of the injury. A knowledgeable chiropractor will not only recommend treatments and address the issues at hand, but they will also take steps to help the patient avoid future injury and health problems.
