Work Injury Treatment
Many workplace injuries develop gradually rather than from a single accident. Repetitive movements, prolonged poor posture, and physical strain are among the most common contributors to work-related discomfort. At Slone Healthcare Clinics, we help patients identify the source of work injuries and develop personalized, evidence-based care plans designed to support recovery and long-term function.
Common Causes of Work Injuries
Repetitive stress is one of the leading causes of workplace injury. Tasks performed repeatedly over time—such as lifting, twisting, bending, or prolonged computer use—can place excessive strain on the spine, joints, and surrounding tissues. While these movements may seem minor, repeated stress can gradually lead to discomfort, inflammation, and reduced mobility if left unaddressed.
How Work Injuries Affect the Spine and Joints
When the spine or joints become misaligned due to repetitive strain or improper movement patterns, surrounding tissues may become irritated or inflamed. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. In some cases, nerve irritation may occur, contributing to symptoms that interfere with daily tasks both at work and at home.
Why Early Care Is Important
Work-related injuries often worsen over time when left untreated. Addressing symptoms early may help reduce the risk of more serious issues developing later. Early evaluation allows for a clearer understanding of contributing factors and helps guide appropriate care strategies aimed at supporting recovery and preventing recurring discomfort.
Chiropractic Care for Work Injuries
Chiropractic care has a long history of supporting individuals with work-related conditions such as lower back pain, repetitive stress injuries, and joint discomfort. Care plans are tailored to the individual and may focus on restoring movement, improving posture, and supporting the body’s natural healing processes. The goal is not only symptom relief, but also helping patients return to normal activities safely and confidently.
