An injury at work can take time away from both your job and your family. Whether it is an accident or a repetitive stress injury, you will want to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Not only does this ensure that your medical expenses are covered through Worker's Compensation, it also allows the body to start the healing process. The longer you wait to seek treatment, the more difficult it will be for your body to heal naturally.
Studying efficiency within the workplace is known as ergonomics. Efficiency involves making the workplace both safe and functional so that the risk of an employee being injured at work is dramatically lowered. Ergonomic furniture and tools have been designed that allow employees to work more comfortably without stressing their joints. Many companies are going the extra mile to make sure employees have the furniture and tools they need to work as efficiently as possible.
Repetitive stress injuries are caused by performing the same motions over and over again without deviation. Over time, this can cause excessive wear and tear on your joints and irritate the ligaments and tendons throughout the area. The more irritated the area becomes, the harder it will be for it to heal later on. Seeking treatment will prevent the build-up of scar tissue and help restore your mobility and range of motion.
Once you learn how to perform certain tasks more efficiently, you will experience less potential damage due to repetitive stress injuries. Chiropractic care offers several treatment options that are effective at minimizing the damage to the joints that is caused by repetitive stress and other work-related injuries. With the use of chiropractic adjustments, deep tissue massage, and corrective exercises, our chiropractor can help to get you back on track in terms of healing and wellness.
Working hand in hand with your chiropractor will allow you to learn better ergonomics as well as become physically stronger. We understand your frustration and want to get you back in shape in as short a time as possible. If you live in the Lake Nona, Orlando, or St. Cloud areas, call and schedule an appointment at your earliest convenience. We can help you get the treatment you need so that you can work more efficiently with fewer risks.
