Are You Struggling With An Injury From Work?
Many people are surprised to find out that the majority of workplace injuries do not occur because of serious accidents. The truth is that most injuries in the workplace happen from overuse and repetitive stress. Each year in the United States and Canada, millions of dollars are spent to help individuals recover from work-related injuries.
The most common of all the risk factors associated with work injury is repetitive stress. Small tasks performed with poor posture create big problems over time, including twisting and turning while moving boxes and continuous typing in an uncomfortable position. You would think it's the big package that falls on you, but it's the small ones handled more often each day that create the majority of injuries.
Can a Chiropractor Help With Carpal Tunnel?
Yes. Chiropractic care is an effective, non-surgical option for carpal tunnel syndrome, one of the most common work-related injuries caused by repetitive hand and wrist movements. Wrist and spinal adjustments can relieve pressure on the median nerve, reducing the numbness, tingling, and weakness associated with carpal tunnel. Many patients find significant improvement without the need for surgery or long-term medication.
Chiropractors Have High Success Rates Helping People With Work Injuries.
Lower back pain and repetitive stress injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome, are just two of the more common work-related conditions that chiropractors regularly treat. Work injury chiropractic care addresses the root cause of pain by correcting the joint and spinal misalignments that develop from occupational strain. When the spine and joints become misaligned, swelling can irritate surrounding nerves, leading to pain, weakness, and reduced range of motion.
The sooner you receive proper care after a workplace injury, the easier it is to make a quick recovery. Our chiropractors are experienced in workplace injury treatment and can assess your condition, explain your recovery path, and refer you to additional specialists if needed.
If you have a misaligned joint, it is vital that you work with a chiropractor. Many patients never make it that far, which is unfortunate. Their employer arranges a medical visit and they end up in physical therapy. Physical therapy is sometimes necessary, but physical therapists are not trained to correct misaligned joints. This leaves many patients struggling to recover fully.
