Frequently Asked Work Injury Questions from Our Scottsdale Chiropractor

When you're suffering from the effects of a workplace injury, you need information about how such injuries occur, what they do to your body, and how to get non-surgical relief. Check out these answers to frequently asked work injury questions from our Scottsdale chiropractor at Secrest Family Chiropractic.

What Are Some Common Work Injury Accident Injury Examples?

Common work injury accident injury examples include slip and fall injuries, whiplash, back injuries, sciatica, extremity joint injuries, and chronic pain syndromes related to overuse of a particular body part.

How Do Acute Injuries Occur on the Job?

You can experience an acute injury from trying to lift a too-heavy object incorrectly, getting into a collision while riding in a company vehicle, falling off of a ladder, or slipping on a hard, wet floor, just to name a few possible incidents.

What Is a Repetitive Motion Injury?

A repetitive motion injury is an overuse injury that can cause chronic pain, stiffness, and neurological symptoms. When your job requires you to make the same motions over and over again, you can develop inflammation and pain in tendons, muscles, and ligaments, as well as pinched nerves.

How Does a Non-Ergonomic Workplace Promote Injuries?

A work environment that forces you to stretch, bend, or stoop constantly can lead to chronic overuse injuries. Incorrect keyboard or desk height can contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome. An incorrectly-positioned monitor can promote a form of neck strain called text neck.

How Does Your Scottsdale Chiropractor Treat Work Injuries?

Our Scottsdale chiropractor can identify, not only the nature of your injury, but its likely underlying causes. Specialized chiropractic methods such as Koren Specific Technique can correct problems involving painful joints, while our therapeutic taping techniques can promote healing and ease soft tissue pain without drugs. We can also recommend changes to your work environment or habits so you can avoid future work injuries.
