How Does Chiropractic Care Help Patients With Work Injuries?

During your first visit, our doctor reviews your medical history and performs a physical exam. You may also have lab work or diagnostic tests performed to make sure chiropractic care is safe for your treatment. Once you’re cleared for chiropractic care, your treatment plan is customized to your needs. Chiropractors manipulate the joints with controlled movements that then improve your quality and range of motion. 

 

Chiropractic care is often used for pain relief as an alternative to taking medications or in combination with other pain-relief treatments. Each manipulation of the joints or spinal column is done with the goal of restoring mobility to your joints, which may be restricted due to injuries from sitting incorrectly, repetitive motions and other injuries from poor ergonomics in the workplace.
