Work Injuries and Chiropractic

Work Injuries

The employee's health is not just a personal issue, but it is also an important factor of company's prosperity. We provide important and helpful information to avoid worker compensation costs.

Common Work - Related Disorders

These disorders caused or made worse by the work environment, reduced worker productivity; lost time from work; temporary or permanent disability; inability to perform job tasks; and an increase in workers compensation costs.

Musculoskeletal disorders include a group of conditions that involve the nerves, tendons, muscles, and supporting structures such as intervertebral discs. They represent a wide range of disorders, which can differ in severity from mild periodic symptoms to severe chronic and debilitating conditions.

Examples include tenosynovitis, tension neck syndrome, and low back pain.These can cause severe and debilitating symptoms such as pain, numbness, and tingling.Repetitive, forceful, or prolonged exertions of the hands; frequent or heavy lifting, pushing, pulling, or carrying of heavy objects; prolonged awkward postures; and vibration contribute to WMSDs. Jobs or working conditions that combine risk factors will increase the risk for musculoskeletal problems. The level of risk depends on how long a worker is exposed to these conditions, how often they are exposed, and the level of exposure.

Chiropractic - Safer and often more effective than surgery

Many of the pain-sensing nerves of the spine are in the facet joints, the two interlocking "fingers" at the back of each spinal bone. The normally smooth surfaces on which these joints glide, can become rough, irritated, and inflamed.

Surgical treatment often involves removing these facet joints, exposing the spinal cord. Another cause of lower back pain can be a bulging disc putting pressure on the spinal cord or a nearby nerve root. The result is often numbness, tingling, or pain down the leg. Cutting away the bulging disc tissue can permanently alter its ability to separate and cushion the adjacent bones. This rarely addresses the underlying structural cause(s) of the problem.

The chiropractic approach is to help restore a more normal motion and position of affected spinal bones with specific chiropractic adjustments. The simplicity and success of this approach has been documented in numerous research projects and has helped many patients avoid risky surgery.

Common Symptom of "Working Hard"

1. Headaches are so common, some people think that getting a headache is just a normal part of life!　Headaches are a sign that something's wrong.　Stress, toxic fumes, certain foods, preservatives, and alcohol are common.Chiropractic is safe, effective, long-term relief for headaches. This is because most headaches have a spinal, muscular, or habitual component that the chiropractor has been trained to identify and treat. Individuals should be warned that relying on analgesics to remedy post-traumatic headaches does nothing to correct the cause of the headache and generally in what's known as the "rebound effect". Stop covering up your headahe with drug, it will only worsens the headache.


2. Neck pain affects a significant number of individuals and can be effectively treated once the cause is identified. It is also important to avoid "bad" and improper habits as well. There are many causes for neck pain.


3. Stress:
   • Stress-related disorders are fast becoming the most prevalent reason for worker disability according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
   
   
   • Job stress and related problems cost American companies an estimated $200 billion or more annually through absenteeism, turnover, accidents, etc.
   
   


4. Sciatica
   THE LARGEST NERVES OF THE BODY
   One of the most common causes of sciatic leg pain is the Vertebral Subluxation Complex. It can be accompanied by the bulging or herniation of the soft pulpy discs which separate each spinal bone. This can irritate or put pressure on the sciatic nerve roots as they leave the spinal cord. The result can be an intense pain shooting down either or both legs. In the past, treatment has involved pain medications, muscle relaxers, physical therapy, and even surgery. The chiropractic approach is to use carefully directed and controlled pressure to remove the interference from spinal structures. These chiropractic adjustments can be quite effective in reducing nerve irritation and its associated pain.Sciatica, like other health problems that can be traced to the spine, often respond dramatically to the restoration of normal spinal function through conservative chiropractic care.


5. Scoliosis is a sideways curving of the spine that often gets started in childhood, when the bones of the spine are still growing. In many cases, the exact cause of scoliosis is unknown.Scoliosis is detected by uneven shoulder heights, a loss of structural balance, or a change in posture.The chiropractic approach is to use specific spinal adjustments, often combined with corrective exercises. If detected early enough, chiropractic doctors have had excellent success with scoliosis cases.

Nutrition

It is very important to feed your body where you are experiencing pain so that it can recover quickly. Diets and Supplements are important in giving all the trillions of cells in the body the nutrients that it needs. Different cells in the body require different nutrients that are found in our diet or supplements. The nutrients that are found in foods today are not as high in quality as decades ago. It is ideal to get all the nutrients in the foods that we eat, but the latest research has shown that most of us do not get all the necessary nutrients that our body requires through foods.

Glucosamine Plus is highly recommended for 35 and older years of age and labor workers. At bones+beyond we offer the highest quality supplements that only Licensed Doctors have access to.
