Injured at Work?

Many people are surprised when they find out that the overwhelming majority of injuries that happen in the workplace do not occur because of serious accidents. The truth is that most injuries in the workplace happen from strain and repetitive movements. Each year in the United States millions of dollars are spent to help individuals with this problem, with mixed results. Chiropractic care may be the answer.  

The most common of all the risk factors associated with work injury is repetitive stress. Small tasks that are done with consistently poor posture will create big problems over the months or even year. Some of the most common repetitive strain injuries include twisting and turning while moving boxes other heavy items, or even continuous typing in a poor position. You would think it's the big package that falls on you, but it's the small ones handled more often each day that create the majority of injuries.  When the spine and joints become misaligned it can (and will) cause pain and injuries. Joints that are misaligned cause swelling which can irritate surrounding nerves leading to multiple problems.
