Castle Rock Family Chiropractic Helps Aid Work Related Injuries in 80108

A neck or back injury can be a painful experience for both employers and the injured employees. Many people associate a work related injury with a traumatic accident, such as a paralyzing fall at a construction site. In reality, however, these injuries are far more common in the average office.

Whether it’s a slip and fall on a wet floor or a wobbly chair in the conference room, a simple accident can cause serious damage to the musculoskeletal system. Additionally, repetitive motion injuries, such as from typing or operating a machine, are also common work related injuries.

Fortunately, our Castle Rock chiropractor has extensive experience treating work related injuries in 80108. Dr. Chris Steiner can help patients manage pain, safely heal and get back to work injury-free.

Chiropractor in 80108 Relieves Back and Neck Pain

One of the most common Castle Rock workplace injuries is a herniated disc due to a slip and fall. Wobbly chairs, slick surfaces or even uneven stairs can result in a fall. When a fall occurs, a disc in your spine may shift out of alignment, a condition known as a bulging or herniated disc. You may also strain the muscles, tendons and ligaments that support your back and help you move. When the musculoskeletal system is out of alignment, the entire body is at risk for injury, illness and pain. Depending on your injury, simple daily activities, such as walking up and down stairs or even sitting at your desk, may become incredibly painful. Chiropractic adjustments can restore alignment to your spine and safely manage your pain.

As a Castle Rock family chiropractor and car accident chiropractor, Dr. Steiner has extensive experience helping patients who have sustained spinal injuries, such as a herniated disc. Dr. Steiner uses spine and joint adjustments to restore alignment to the musculoskeletal system. During these gentle, hands-on adjustments, Dr. Steiner applies precise, targeted pressure to different parts of your spine. This pressure helps correct alignment and patients will often enjoy long-term back and neck pain relief.

A herniated disc is often accompanied by strained or sore tissues in the back, shoulders and neck. Massage therapy is a complementary treatment to chiropractic adjustments that can help reduce back and neck pain, while promoting internal healing. When a muscle is strained, it can contract and become tight. This restricts the body’s natural range of movement, making daily activities painful. Massage treatments help invigorate muscle tissue with fresh, oxygenated blood. This promotes internal healing, while also restoring flexibility and motion to the body.

Many common workplace injuries can be prevented with proper ergonomics and regular breaks. Chairs should be adjusted to the right seat height and provide proper lumbar support. A footrest can also reduce lower back pain by providing extra support to your legs. Dr. Steiner is committed to helping local businesses in 80108 reduce the risk for workplace injuries, and is happy to answer any questions you may have about simple ways to make your office safer for employees. He also offers spinal and postural screenings to help individuals understand the importance of proper spinal care.
