Kentucky Workers, Don't Let Your Pain Linger
If you’ve been injured at work, what can you do about the pain? Going to a chiropractor and following medical instructions is important, but after months or even years of no relief, what can you do next?
Changing medication and increasing dosage can be risky, especially with side effects, medication conflicts, and liver damage that can happen when processing higher amounts of some substances. Even if you’re not worried about long-term damage, some options simply aren’t cost-effective.
Have you explored chiropractic therapy? To understand your options and to see how our staff at Bluegrass Chiro can help, here are a few work injury relief details to clear the fog about managing pain.
Pain Assistance for Work-Related Injuries
After an injury at the job, get medical help and gather evidence. Don’t tamper with anything; you don’t want to alter, destroy, or edit any items involved in the accident or any pictures you took as evidence. Get the medical care you need and make sure you have proof that the event happened.
When you’re able to take stock of your situation, it’s time to work on Workers Compensation. Any company you work for should be contributing to worker’s comp insurance, and you’ll be filing paperwork about the injury to make sure that your situation is covered by workers comp.
It’s a good idea to get a lawyer at this point. Even if you trust the company, the company’s lawyers need to protect the company’s bottom line. This may mean convincing you to sign away your rights to demand compensation for complications later on in life, such as lifelong pain or disability that may not be an obvious fate right now.
Workers comp will cover the immediate medical costs related to your injury. When an injury becomes chronic or turns into a long-term disability, you will deal with a similar, but separate set of disability benefits.
Paying for specialists such as chiropractic services should be covered by the people who caused the injury to happen, or the people responsible for providing a safe workspace. Don’t sign that away.
Common Types & Causes of Work Injury
A workplace injury can occur following an acute and sudden accident like a fall or car crash. In other cases, work injury may come on gradually; in these cases, it’s often the result of several underlying risk factors, including:
- Poor posture
- Poor body mechanics and techniques while lifting and performing other physical tasks
- Poor ergonomics
- Excessive sitting and/or standing
- Overuse/repetitive movement (especially when involving frequent bending, lifting, twisting, or performing overhead tasks)
- Additional lifestyle factors (smoking, stress, nutrition, and overweight/obesity)
At our chiropractic office, our team frequently diagnoses and treats subluxations, which may help with the conditions listed below.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome: compression of the median nerve (can cause numbness and pain in the first few fingers)
- Sciatica: compression of the sciatic nerve (can cause numbness and pain in a leg)
- Tech neck: stiff, sore, achy neck from frequently flexing forward
- Disc herniation or bulge: spinal disc damage (may cause nerve compression and back stiffness)
- Chronic low back pain: often due to muscle strain, ligament sprain, disc injury, or simply increased pressure on the spine from sitting or heavy lifting
- Plantar fasciitis: inflammation of the bottom of the foot (can cause sharp heel pain)
- Tendonitis: inflammation of a tendon
How Chiropractic Care Services Can Heal Your Work Injury
Our services can all be customized to meet your specific needs and help you get back to work as soon as possible:
- Chiropractic adjustments: joint mobilizations and manipulations realign the spine, trigger widespread pain relief, and reduce pressure on chronically stressed discs, nerves, and joints
- Corrective exercises: we teach exercises to improve core stability and strength, heal injured tissues, and maximize endurance and range of motion to prepare for a long day at work
- Patient education: we teach people how to set up their desk and improve posture, body mechanics, lifting techniques, and work habits to prevent recurring strain and tension
How Can A Chiropractor Help?
Chiropractors are best known for adjusting the body–often the spine–to provide pain solutions. There are many other benefits at chiropractic offices, such as muscle training or general fitness advice and details on how to adjust your quality of living with changes at home.
Many chiropractic professionals hold multiple qualifications that can deliver whole-body, multi-disciplined chiropractic services to your pain problems. It’s more than popping a few joints and stretching your arms, and your medical history will be a part of their professional analysis.
