Workplace Injuries

Work can be a great place to feel fulfilled and earn a living—but it can also create challenges that lead to injuries on the job.

Every day, people get hurt at work as a result of seating incorrectly, lifting heavy items, and making sudden and uncommon movements that can cause a variety of injuries. Many times, people write off these injuries because they think they will simply go away, but just like with auto accident injuries, the hidden dangers of untreated injuries can lead to even more issues such as chronic pain.

Typical injuries sustained at work may include: 

• Herniated discs
• Muscle strains
• Torticollis or wryneck
• Overexertion

Many workplace injuries are preventable but most people only realize about their bad posture or improper lifting after getting hurt. Kirkman Chiropractic treats all kinds of workplace injuries, helping employers mitigate the challenge and ensuring their employees can return to work and re-engage in the workforce.

For people whose job requires them to lift and handle heavy boxes, as well as those whose work requires them to climb and bend often, chiropractic treatment can help them maintain their mobility and flexibility to reduce the risk of injury. After all, we are human and our body has limits—but Kirkman Chiropractic offers you a solution to ensure you can remain productive and earn income.

Depending on the workplace injury sustained, our chiropractic staff may recommend a therapy plan in addition to chiropractic care that may include physical therapy, exercise rehabilitation, therapeutic massage, postural re-training, and/or spinal decompression.
