Work-Related Injury Treatment - Denver Chiropractic Center

Work-Related Injuries

Chronic back pain is a leading cause of work limitations, causing Americans to spend at least $85 billion each year. Jobs that require patients to repeatedly lift or move heavy objects can overexert or strain the back and neck muscles. However, desk jobs can be just as damaging to the back and spine due to sitting for long periods of time, often with poor posture.

Chiropractic care helps to restore the spinal structures and help patients gain mobility again. Chiropractic care has been shown to help workers get back to work faster than other forms of therapy or surgery. Using a non-invasive approach, chiropractic care relieves immediate pain while also delivering long-term results that will decrease the chances of a second episode of pain.

Common causes of work-related injuries include:

lifting or moving heavy objects repeatedly or with poor form
slouching while standing or sitting
repeating certain movements from overstretched positions
psychological and emotional stress

How we can help

Prior to recommending a treatment plan, Dr. Hyman will do a series of tests in order to find out what is causing your back pain. Through these tests, Dr. Hyman will be able to recommend an all natural, non-invasive treatment plan to help get you back on track. Reducing the misalignment of the spine through chiropractic care and Active Release Techniques can greatly reduce the inflammation in the body that is causing the pain you’re experiencing. Dr. Hyman may also provide you with additional stretches and/or workplace recommendations (postures, frequency of breaks, lifting techniques) that can prevent further injury.
