Work Injury
Working is part of our daily life. Working injuries are often not from serious accidents, but commonly from repetitive activities- tasks and/or overuse. As there are so many occupations, there are many ways to get injured at work. The key when dealing with a work-related injury is not leaving it until it requires a more complicated intervention which can lead to a non- treatable problem and/or create a permanent disability.
It does not matter if you perform a small or a big task; the problem is when those tasks are done with poor posture and/or poor technique. Lifting, twisting and turning while working with boxes for example or even sitting typing continuously can both cause acute and chronic neck, back, arms, legs pain to arise. Even with the correct posture, a simple task of doing the same movement day in and day out can lead to a major problem over time. Some of the most common injuries due to repetitive stress are: frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, back pain, disc problems, headaches, ankle-knee-hip pain, and the list goes on.
Prevention is the key and since there are many cause that can lead to a work injury, the Gonstead chiropractor’s first step is to determine the potential cause of patient’s work related injury, and ultimately the purpose of Gonstead chiropractic care is to help the body’s potential to heal itself
