Work Injury

Injuries in the Workplace 

Sadly, serious accidents in the workplace happen. However, by far the greater number of work injuries are the result of overuse. Work injuries make up a significant portion of days taken off work, especially in certain occupations. 

Repetitive stress on routine daily activities accomplished with poor posture creates large problems over time. Consider the following work-related tasks: 

• Receiving or packing clerks moving boxes 

• Administrative or accounting staff with long periods of typing or computer work 

• Childcare personnel and teachers picking up children and leaning down to their level 

• Mechanics using hand tools  

• Dentists and dental hygienists cleaning and caring for teeth 

 Combine repetitive motions with poor posture and the spine and joints get misaligned causing swelling, irritation, and inflammation. The result is pain and long-lasting injuries such as: 

• Carpal tunnel syndrome 

• Lower and Upper back pain 

• Neck pain 

• Headaches 

• Pinched and damaged nerves  

You may be sent to physical therapy, which helps a little, but often, the ailment returns. This is because physical therapists, unlike chiropractors, are not trained to correct misaligned joints. This leaves you, the patient, struggling to properly recover.  

Don’t struggle. Chiropractors have high success rates helping people like you with work injuries. The sooner you consult with MDR Medical Associates for chiropractic treatment, your condition is assessed, an individual plan is created, and you will learn what is needed for recovery. In addition, kinesio taping may help you maintain pain-free work. 

You do not have to live with the initial pain or with the pain that returns time after time. Chiropractic treatment can be the key to relief and less time off work feeling bad. Use your time off work for enjoyment instead!
