Man suffering from carpal tunnel

What Are Some of the Most Common Work Injuries?

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome: numbness, pain, and weakness in the first three fingers of the hand due to compression of the median nerve in the wrist
  • Sciatica: buttocks and leg numbness, pain, and weakness secondary to compression of a sciatic nerve root in the lower back (may also lead to back pain)
  • Whiplash: a neck pain syndrome associated with headaches, ringing in the ears, and shoulder and arm pain caused by forceful flexion/extension of the neck
  • Plantar fasciitis: sharp heel pain caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia (the bottom of your foot)
  • Muscle strains: microscopic tears in the muscle fibers often due to strain or overuse, frequently seen in the shoulders or spine
  • Disc injury:  a disc may rupture (herniate), protrude out of place (bulge) or overtime thin and wear down (degenerative disc disease) due to acute or chronic work-related strain

What Causes Work Injury?

A wide range of risk factors can contribute to an injury on the job:

  • Sedentary behavior (e.g., sitting too long at your desk); alternatively, excessive standing can also cause stress and injury
  • Poor ergonomics (improper set up of the computer, phone, keyboard, etc.)
  • Heavy lifting
  • Personal injury (falls, motor vehicle accident, etc.)
  • Poor body mechanics
  • Repetitive movement
  • Other health factors: e.g., chronic condition (obesity, diabetes), psychological stress, smoking, etc.

How Can Chiropractic Care Help Treat a Work Injury?

Our best-practice services can help you heal from a work injury by supporting your body's ability to self-heal (rather than just trying to "mask" your symptoms). Here are a few examples:

  • Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to stimulate the release of biological analgesics while also realigning spinal joints and reducing the intensity of pain signals being sent via the nervous system
  • Spinal decompression relieves pressure on compressed nerve roots and stimulates healing in injured discs
  • Massage promotes physical and mental relaxation, increased circulation, and decreased swelling and inflammation
  • Corrective exercises to restore strength, endurance, and range of motion
  • Patient education to improve ergonomics, lifting mechanics, weight loss, etc.

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "They care and have a nice time doing it. I am thinking of going back again, but I am too embarrassed about not having continued with the exercises he prescribed. He said, Do them or you will come back here with worse...and guess what? I am too embarrassed to go back! But still will, I think..."
