Work Injuries
Oregon City Chiropractic is here to get you back to work pain-free!
ACUTE WORK-RELATED INJURIES
Our chiropractic clinic is happy to work with your Worker’s Comp insurance to help you get back on your feet.
On-the-job injuries can happen whether your job is at a desk, or on the warehouse floor. Most workplace injuries are caused by lifting, pushing, pulling, twisting, falls, or equipment operator injury. Most routine actions can be accomplished safely, but constant repetition, a dangerous environment, or something as simple as poor footing can change a daily activity into a dangerous one. Many people who routinely work in a hazardous environment, such as firemen, police officers, nurses, and in-home care workers, are not able to control their surrounds and are more likely to experience a traumatic workplace injury.
Developing neck or back pain, shoulder pain, peripheral neuropathy, or sciatica due to a misstep or poor work environment can seriously hinder a person’s ability to perform everyday tasks in the workplace. Fortunately, chiropractic care, coupled with therapeutic massage, can provide immediate relief from constant pain or numbness. Further examinations combined with a customized treatment plan will support full recovery from workplace accidents or injury.
Our goal is to get you back to work, pain-free, and able to comfortably perform your everyday actions.
REPETITIVE STRESS INJURIES
Get relief from chronic pain or stress injuries
Repetitive actions like typing, lifting, pulling, pushing, and twisting can cause wear and tear in the same location in your body, year after year. With so much wear, your joints and muscles in those areas are more prone to injury and may develop inflammation or become painful. Many workers come to Oregon City Chiropractic concerned about carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis caused by repetitive motions in the workplace. Usually, worker’s compensation insurance will not cover this type of injury. However, we accept most medical insurance and our team of dedicated holistic healthcare practitioners are happy to find ways to provide relief from chronic conditions.
Additionally, we provide preventative treatment for those professionals hoping to avoid cumulative trauma disorders. Our team of injury prevention specialists can administer precautionary adjustments while sharing proactive techniques to minimize a patient’s injury risk in the workplace.
