Chiropractic Care After Work Injuries
Workplace injuries are any occupational injury or illness that is caused by factors in your workplace, including the specific tasks you are paid to perform. Work injuries are typically injuries to the neck and back. Since chiropractors specialize in the neck and back it makes a lot of sense that people are seeing chiropractors more frequently for work related injuries. Work injuries can happen to people who work in many different types of workplaces, including factories, construction sites, offices, retail stores, and warehouses. Workplace injuries can be caused by repetitive movements while other injuries can be caused by traumatic accidents. Workplace injuries can be caused by:
- Overexertion
- Falls
- Blunt force trauma
- Repetitive strain or exertion
- Poor Posture
- Improper lifting
- Chemical exposure
- Burns
These are just a few things that can cause injuries in the workplace. Now, here are some specific work injuries that are best suited for chiropractic care:
- Back injuries (sprains, strains, disc problems)
- Neck injuries (sprains, strains, joint dysfunction)
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Headache (caused by muscle tension, joint dysfunction, or poor posture)
- Bursitis
