Healing Work Injuries with Chiropractic Care

Work injuries can happen at anytime, whether you’re doing something routine or when you are hurried and deviate from your normal method. Either way, these injuries can be severe and force you to miss days or weeks from work. In fact, the most common work injuries are neck and back injuries. Both of which can have life altering and long lasting affects. The affects of work injury stretch far beyond the physical aspect. Loss of wages and job security can also be at risk. Workers’ compensation, in many cases, will cover the cost of your chiropractic care.

Work injuries are also the result of years and repetitive tasks like typing or working a factory line. Repetitive stress syndrome is caused by repeated or excessive movement of the shoulders and arms. RSI conditions include:

• carpal tunnel syndrome, which causes pain and other symptoms in the hand and wrist
• tendinitis, which is an inflammation of the tendons in any part of the body
• bursitis, which is an inflammation of the sac that cushions a joint
• ganglions, which are cysts that may occur on a tendon

There are a number of different ways to treat RSI. In most cases, a chiropractic adjustment to the affected area is an effective solution. In some cases, a misalignment in either the back or neck can cause this condition, and chiropractic manipulation of the neck and/or spine can also serve as an effective treatment option. These treatments, along with physical therapy, stretching, and strengthening exercises, can in most cases effectively alleviate and eventually eliminate the symptoms associated with RSI.
