Chiropractic Care

Did you know that 374 million non-fatal work-related injuries occur each year? Many of these injuries are serious enough to keep people out of work for days, weeks and even months on end. We know that many of our patients aren’t able to afford to take that much time off work, nor can they afford to deal with chronic pain and other issues that can greatly impact their quality of life.

Dr. David Gehling sees many patients dealing with musculoskeletal issues due to occupational injuries.

What are the most common work injuries?
No matter whether your job requires you to sit at a desk, drive a truck or move heavy equipment round, injuries can happen to anyone regardless of the type of workplace. Common injuries include:
  • Repetitive motion injuries: this includes everything from chopping food all day to typing on a computer, which can lead to issues such as tendonitis or carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Falling object injuries: Many people experience head, neck and back injuries due to falling objects
  • Falling: From falling down the stairs to tripping on a wet floor, taking a bad tumble can often result in serious injuries
  • Overexertion: If you have to lift, carry or hold heavy objects, this can lead to chronic pain and muscle strain
Chiropractic treatment is a great option for employers whose employees are dealing with work-related injuries and health problems. In fact, the various techniques and treatments we use are completely drug-free and can promote faster healing while providing you with the pain relief you’ve been looking for. After all, chiropractic care focuses on treating the cause of the pain rather than just managing the symptoms.

Why is chiropractic care a good option for treating work injuries?
Through treatment options such as spinal manipulation, decompression, physical therapy, and ergonomics our chiropractor, Dr. Gehling, can promote faster healing, increase range-of-motion and flexibility, improve your physical and mental outlook and even help you prevent further injuries in the future.
