What Is a Work Injury?

A work injury is any type of injury that occurs on the job or is related to the work a person does. Any injury, condition, or even illness that you experience while employed and that is related specifically to the tasks you perform at work could be considered a work injury.

What are Different Types of Work Injuries?

The following are several of the most common work-related injuries:

• Repetitive Use Injuries: This might include always lifting items the same way or keyboard injuries that occur in the wrist or elbow.
• Slips and Falls: Slipping, tripping, or falling are some of the most common types of injuries in all work environments.
• Strains and Sprains: A strain occurs when you overstretch or tear a tendon. A sprain is excessive stretching or tearing of a ligament.
• Automobile Accidents: Auto accidents that occur on the job can lead to a variety of injuries including broken bones and back or neck injuries.
• Caught or Stuck in Moving Machinery: This primarily occurs in construction or industrial types of jobs.

How Can a Chiropractor Help?

A skilled chiropractor has several methods available to help treat your injury. An experienced chiropractic professional can offer non-invasive techniques such as massage therapy and spinal decompression. For repetitive injuries, a chiropractor may use manual therapy, soft-tissue therapy, or joint mobilization. Ultrasound therapy may be used to break down internal scar tissue, while cold laser therapy is sometimes used to reduce pain and inflammation. A skilled chiropractor will take the time to thoroughly evaluate your condition and complete a health history when putting together the best treatment plan for your injury.
