Work Related Injury Treatment

SLIP AND A FALL

Employers have a legal obligation to make the workplace as safe as possible. This means watching out for slippery floors and removing, trip hazards. Even in a safe work environment, accidents can happen. It’s important to be seen by a healthcare provider as soon as possible to have yourself examined after an accident has occurred.

CAR ACCIDENTS

After a car accident, you may feel symptom free for several days before your symptoms set in. It is important for your health to get checked out immediately after the accident.
One of the more common car accident injuries chiropractors see is whiplash. Symptoms of whiplash (headaches, vertigo, fatigue, a stiff or sore neck, shoulders, or upper back) may not set in for several days. Whiplash can take months to recover from.

BACK INJURIES AND HERNIATED DISCS

Back injuries can happen at any workplace. This can happen suddenly from something falling on you, to muscle sprains/strains, and even repetitive injuries. Severe injuries can cause herniated discs. It is always better to get an examination to find out if you have any of these problems today.

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

Do you work a lot with your hands? Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common issue for people who work in factories and offices. The median nerve travels from your elbow through the carpal tunnel in your wrist. When the nerve is compressed, it can cause pain, tingling, and weakness in the hands. Not only is this uncomfortable, but it also makes it difficult to do your job. This kind of repetitive stress injury from work can be addressed in a variety of ways. One way people care for CTS is with chiropractic care.
