Your Job May Have "Hidden" Risks

Millions of work hours and wages are lost each year as a result of on the job injuries. Nearly 20 million people suffer from back injuries caused by falling, lifting heavy objects, sitting or standing for long periods of time. Repetitive motions such as twisting and turning also contribute to workplace injuries.

You don't have to haul pianos to injure your spinal joints! A spinal exam and x-rays, where necessary, can help us determine if the type of work you do every day could be causing or contributing to a "hidden" joint injury.

Perhaps you suffer from an "overuse" injury and have become so accustomed to the pain, you ignore it. Or maybe you experience back, neck, and shoulder pain as a result of poor posture while sitting, at a desk all day. Even tilting your head while on the telephone can cause cumulative problems over time!

This Doesn't Have to Happen to You!

You've felt them. A tingling here and there. An ache or pain. A stiff neck, backache, headache, headache, and sore wrists. These little annoyances, if ignored, can quickly develop into painful, chronic injuries. You can carelessly ignore your wrist pain and soon find yourself barely able to lift a coffee mug.

What may seem to you to be a minor symptom or injury could result in permanent disability without proper correction. In fact, some patients will show more musculoskeletal damage caused by daily spinal stress than others involved in a traumatic injury!

Yes We Accept :"Workers' Comp" Cases

Naturally, the first thing you must do if you're hurt on the job is to notify your employer. if you've already been injured, ask your employer and insurance company adjuster what steps may be needed to transfer your care to our office under your worker's comp case.

Your injury may be 100% covered by your employer if they have workers' comp insurance.

If you're self employed and do not have workers' compensation or disability benefits, don't deny yourself the health you deserve.

We are qualified to work very closely with you in what we hope will be an early return to work program. Our training helps us understand the stresses and strains of your occupation so we can help eliminate your pain and prevent it from recurring.

Our understanding of musculoskeletal injuries makes chiropractic very helpful in the rehabilitation process-without the use of drugs or surgery.

How Chiropractic Relieves Occupational Injuries

Doctors of Chiropractic receive extensive training on the identification and correction of musculoskeletal injuries.

Whether you've had an obvious injury (as a result of twisting, lifting, pulling, pushing, slipping, or falling) or "hidden" injury (such as a repetitive stress disorder), you don't have to suffer any longer!

Most injuries that involve the muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, discs, vertebrae, and other joints respond well to chiropractic care.

That's because your spine is the central axis of your musculoskeletal system. Even a sprained ankle or knee injury can throw your spine or pelvic bones out of alignment.

By keeping your spine aligned, gentle chiropractic adjustments can remove nerve interference, restore joint function, and reduce inflammation to speed your healing.

"Back" to Work in Half the Time

• Studies on over 10,000 workers' compensation cases in California and Florida revealed that chiropractic patients returned to work in half the time! Other states have found similar results.

• Another study in the Journal of Occupational Medicine indicates that patients under medical care lost ten times as many work days as those patients under chiropractic care!

• An article appearing in the March 1995 issue of On Workers' Compensation recommends that every workers' compensation manager read the U.S. government's AHCPR reference guide on the benefits of chiropractic in the treatment of low back pain.
