Work Injury Treatment Spartanburg

How Does a Chiropractor Treat Work Injuries? 

Chiropractors at Trident Health & Chiropractic employ a variety of techniques to treat work-related injuries, focusing on natural, non-invasive methods to alleviate pain and promote healing. They begin with a comprehensive evaluation to diagnose the specific injury and its underlying causes. 

Medical treatment often involves spinal adjustments to correct misalignments and relieve pressure on nerves, which can reduce pain and improve mobility while treating injuries and illnesses.

Our chiropractic team may use soft tissue therapies when injury occurs, such as massage or myofascial release, to address muscle tension and enhance circulation so you can return to work. They also offer guidance on ergonomic practices, posture correction, and stretching exercises, which play a crucial role in preventing workplace injury and maintaining overall spinal health. 

The holistic approach not only targets immediate pain relief but also fosters long-term recovery and injury prevention for your safety and health, making chiropractic care a valuable option for those who have been injured at work. 

Common workplace injuries and associated pains that are frequently treated at Trident Health & Chiropractic include: 

• Back Pain: Often resulting from improper lifting techniques, prolonged sitting, or repetitive movements, back pain is one of the most common workplace injuries. Many report that it feels like a constant and dull ache but others feel a sharp pain. 
• Neck Pain: Caused by poor posture, especially in desk jobs, or by sudden movement, neck pain is frequently experienced by professionals. It can also arise from stress or prolonged computer use.
• Shoulder Pain: This can occur from overuse or repetitive shoulder movements, particularly in jobs requiring lifting, carrying, or extended overhead work. Shoulder pain often involves the muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
• Knee Pain: Common in jobs that involve heavy lifting, knee bending, and frequent walking, knee pain can stem from acute injuries or chronic conditions like arthritis.
• Headaches and Migraines: Often triggered by stress, poor posture, eye strain, or environmental factors in the workplace, headaches and migraines can significantly impact productivity and comfort.
• Whiplash: Typically associated with jobs that involve driving or operating heavy machinery, whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden movement forward, backward, or sideways. It results in pain and stiffness in the neck area.
