Work Injury
____Back injuries are the most common type of work injury. Other common work injuries include: carpal tunnel syndrome, low back pain, headaches, and neck and shoulder pain. Many of these injuries are caused by repetitive stress (doing the same thing over and over again). These are work injuries even if work activity is only partially responsible.
For individuals hurt on the job, the law mandates that they may chose chiropractic care for their injuries.
Many times companies will try to direct their injured workers to specific doctors and although the company may suggest that you attend these doctors, they may not force you to do so. It's not uncommon for company doctors to be more concerned about the best interests of the company than those of the injured worker. They may offer less care than you really need.
You will never find that situation in our office. Our patients come first. Although we like to think of ourselves as being both company and patient friendly, we will never ignore or minimize your injuries at the insistence of the company.
If you have an old injury which has not responded to previous treatments or you have become dissatisfied with the care you have received, contact our office today. We are expert in the treatment of joint, muscular and spinal worker's injuries. In addition to chiropractic care, we utilize various effective therapies and offer rehabilitation on site.
