Labor Day weekend is almost here and it has us thinking about the many patients who treat who have sustained a workplace injury. Whether or not you have a physically demanding job, what you do every day for hours on end has an impact on the health and function of your body. At Bird Chiropractic, we treat many patients who have an injury from work. Here are a few injuries to look out for and how chiropractic can help.
Workplace Injuries
An injury of any sort can be frustrating, but especially so when it keeps you from completing your job. While on the job, some injuries occur due to accidents, but many are the result of the strain and stress put on your body by repetitive tasks. That’s why working at a desk can pose just as many hazards as a more physically demanding job. Some injuries to look out for include:
Headaches
Neck pain
Back pain
Sprains
Nerve damage
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Tendonitis
These injuries can certainly be treated with the help of Bird Chiropractic and may even be avoided altogether with regular adjustments.
Injury Diagnosis
When you come to Bird Chiropractic for treatment, whether it is for discomfort, pain, or reduced range of motion, we will first determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. This helps us determine the best way to treat the root cause of the problem, not just your symptoms.
In order to determine the best course of action, we will need to have a full understanding of your lifestyle, job, and any other factors that may be contributing to the issues you are dealing with. Once we have all relevant information, we can discuss a treatment plan that is unique to your needs.
Chiropractic Care: Effective and Safe
Here comes the easy part – just relax and let us do the work! Many of our patients report how relaxing an adjustment is and because chiropractic is natural and non-invasive, there are no risks to worry about as there are with surgery and medication. Dr. Brandon Bird will use hands-on chiropractic adjustments to eliminate any joint restrictions or dysfunctions along with other methods of treatment. We can even suggest exercises and stretches to do to help promote the benefits of your adjustment and reduce your symptoms.
If you have sustained a workplace injury, you don’t have to just deal with it. Click here to contact your local Voorhees, NJ chiropractor.
