Chiropractors treat injuries involving the spine, muscles, joints, and nerves — the types of injuries commonly sustained in the workplace. Conditions like lower back pain, neck injuries, pinched nerves, or joint stiffness can all benefit from chiropractic care.


Common work injuries chiropractors treat:

  • Lower back strain from lifting
  • Repetitive stress injuries (e.g. carpal tunnel)
  • Slip-and-fall trauma
  • Whiplash from machinery accidents
  • Sciatica or nerve compression

Chiropractic Treatment Techniques:

Spinal Adjustments: Improve mobility and reduce nerve irritation by restoring proper alignment of vertebrae.

Soft Tissue Therapy: Relieve muscle tightness, scar tissue, and inflammation caused by overuse or trauma.

Rehabilitation Exercises: Strengthen weak muscles, improve flexibility, and speed up healing while preventing future injuries.

Ergonomic Advice: Help you adjust your workplace setup to avoid reinjury. A few simple changes in posture or desk height can make a big difference.

Long-Term Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care focuses not just on symptom relief, but on functional restoration. By targeting the root of the injury, chiropractors help reduce the chances of chronic pain, decrease reliance on medication, and improve overall quality of life.


Does Workers’ Compensation Cover Chiropractic?

In many states, chiropractic care is covered under workers’ compensation. That means you might not have to pay out of pocket for your recovery. Our clinic works directly with insurance companies and attorneys to help manage your claim and ensure treatments are covered.

Pro tip: Don’t delay care. Waiting can worsen your condition and complicate your workers’ comp claim.

Seeing a chiropractor early strengthens your documentation and recovery plan.
