Dear friend,
Did you injure your back at work? Does your back pain prevent you from returning to work? If so, we can help.
Slip and Fall Injury at Work
Recently a patient came in to our office seeking care for an injury to her lower back. She stated that while working as a teacher for special needs children, one of the students pushed her into a wall. She eventually lost her balance, slipped and then fell to the ground hurting her back.
Work injuries like this are unfortunate and the most common area of the body hurt is naturally the lower back. Whenever an injured worker comes in to see us for back pain treatment, we always start of by taking a thorough case history followed by a thorough examination of the injured area…we may also take x-rays if necessary.
Treatment for Back Injuries
Once we know where your back pain is coming from, whether it’s a muscle, bone, nerve and/or ligament, we can begin to offer the appropriate treatment.
As chiropractors we specialize spinal adjustments and other therapies to treat back pain. Chiropractic treatment for work injuries can last from a few weeks to a few months.
If you had a work injury and need treatment for back pain, call our office today to schedule an appointment.
Dr. Larry VanSuch
