Have You Been Injured At Work?

Many people are surprised to find out that the majority of work injuries can be helped by an Atascadero Chiropractor.

Repetitive Stress and Overuse Injuries

The most common forms of work injury are from repetitive stress and overuse. Often people don't get these injurys treated and they become larger issue.

Small tasks done with poor posture can create big problems over time. Twisting and turning while moving boxes or even continuous typing can cause both acute and chronic pain to arise. Even if you are using correct posture, the simple act of doing the same movement day in and day out can create major problems over time. Here are some of the common repetitive stress injuries:

• Frozen Shoulder
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Sciatica
• Back Ache
• Arthritis
• Slipped or Herniated discs

The list goes on. Even if you are just at the beginning of an overuse injury, or you are concerned that you may start to develop one because of the nature of your work, it is important to start preventative and early treatment to ensure the issue does not progress to something more problematic.
