Workers’ Compensation Chiropractic
at Spine and Laser Center
What Is a Workers’ Compensation Injury?
Workers’ compensation injuries are physical injuries or medical conditions that occur as a direct result of a person’s job or work environment. These injuries are typically covered by the employer’s workers’ compensation insurance, which pays for medical treatment and time off work during recovery.
Common causes of workplace injuries include:
- Lifting heavy objects
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Repetitive movements or overuse
- Poor ergonomics at a workstation
- Auto accidents while driving for work
- Falling objects or impact injuries
Common Injuries Treated by Chiropractors
Chiropractors specialize in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal injuries, especially those involving the spine and surrounding structures. Some of the most common work-related injuries seen in chiropractic clinics include:
- Lower back injuries (strains, herniated discs, sciatica)
- Neck pain and whiplash
- Shoulder and knee injuries
- Repetitive stress injuries (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome)
- Joint stiffness or limited range of motion
- Chronic muscle tension or inflammation
- Headaches and migraines caused by strain or misalignment
These injuries can lead to chronic pain, decreased mobility, and lost productivity if left untreated.
How Chiropractic Helps With Work Injuries
Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to healing after a workplace injury. It focuses on restoring proper alignment, reducing inflammation, and improving the function of the nervous system — all of which are key to long-term recovery. Chiropractic treatments may include:
- Spinal adjustments to correct misalignments and relieve pressure on nerves
- Therapeutic exercises to strengthen injured muscles and prevent future injuries
- Soft tissue therapy (e.g., massage, myofascial release)
- Electrical stimulation or ultrasound therapy
- Postural and ergonomic training
- Stretching and mobility work
Many patients experience reduced pain, better movement, and faster recovery times when chiropractic care is included in their workers’ compensation treatment plan.
