Work Injury

Treating Workplace Injuries

Work has a long history of injuries. In the days when factories were commonplace, work injuries were a daily occurrence. However, with modern safety rules and regulations, injuries are now a target for prevention. Allowing them to occur can become an expensive cost for employers. This change opened up the world of workers' compensation. At Woods Chiropractic in Norman, we provide natural and effective care for workplace injuries.

Employee Workplace Safety is Now a Requirement

Programs mandated by the government on employers now require them to provide workers' compensation that provides medical response and health recovery programs for injured workers. Workers can now come back to work rehabilitated instead of being barred from income due to permanent disabilities caused by workplace injuries. This is particularly the case for injuries that require serious surgical repair and long-term rehabilitation.

One of the areas that helps tremendously with rehabilitation involves chiropractic science. As a study of the body's mechanics at the musculoskeletal level, chiropractors help identify and rectify injuries that continue to cause pain due to deep, internal injuries. This includes soft-tissue problems such as muscle tears and ligament damage, as well as skeletal issues such as damaged and incorrectly operating joints and connection points.

Types of Workplace Injury Vary

Many work injuries involve impact issues where machinery has damaged a body part, a worker has fallen, or an object has impacted the employee. These issues often get immediate attention for what's visible, such as lacerations, bruising, and broken bones. However, traditional medical care doesn't deal well with the healing guidance needed for full motion recovery later. A chiropractor, on the other hand, focuses primarily on motion, mobility function, and flexibility.

Other work injuries are triggered by repetitive work over a long period of time. These can involve both joint and nerve damage. Again, chiropractic science focuses on how to stop the damage from continuing and trigger healing, whereas traditional medicine typically just focuses on swelling reduction and pain-killer medicine for temporary relief. Both neck pain and back pain can fall into this category on a regular basis as well.
