What Is Workers’ Compensation Chiropractic Care?
Workers’ compensation chiropractic care focuses on evaluating and treating injuries that occur while performing job-related duties. These injuries often involve the spine, joints, muscles, and soft tissues.
Chiropractic care may be recommended to help:
- Reduce pain and stiffness
- Improve mobility and function
- Support soft tissue healing
- Address postural or movement strain related to work tasks
Care is always based on clinical findings and individual needs.
Common Work-Related Injuries We See
- Back or neck injuries
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Lifting or twisting injuries
- Slip, trip, or fall injuries
- Shoulder, hip, or joint strain
- Work-related headaches
Even injuries that seem minor at first can worsen without proper evaluation.
Do I Need a Referral?
Most of the time, No referral is needed to start chiropractic care for a work injury. If you’re injured at work, the first step is to report the injury to your employer as soon as possible. Make sure claim has been opened with your employer's workers compensation. We are happy to walk you through the process and help remove the guesswork.
What to Expect at your first Visit.
Your care begins with a thorough evaluation, which may include:
- A detailed work and injury history
- Orthopedic and neurological testing
- Range of motion assessment
- Imaging if clinically indicated
- A care plan focused on recovery and function
Treatment plans are designed to support healing while aligning with workers’ compensation requirements.
