Injured at Work?
Many people are surprised to find out that the majority of work injuries in New Rochelle do not occur because of serious accidents. The truth is that most injuries in the workplace happen from overuse injuries. Each year in the United States millions of dollars are spent to help individuals with this problem. In this article from your New Rochelle chiropractor, you will learn about how to improve your outcome if you have been injured.
The most common of all the risk factors associated with work injury is repetitive stress. Small tasks that happen with poor posture create big problems over time. Twisting and turning while moving boxes and even continuous typing in a poor position. You would think it’s the big package that falls on you, but it’s the small ones handled more often each day that create the majority of injuries.
Work Injury in New Rochelle
Chiropractors have high success rates helping people with work injuries. Lower back pain and repetitive stress injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome, are just two of the more common work-related conditions that chiropractors regularly treat. When the spine and joints become misaligned it can commonly cause injuries. Joints that are misaligned cause swelling which can irritate surrounding nerves leading to multiple problems.
The sooner you receive proper care after a work injury, the easier it is to make a quick recovery. Chiropractic doctors are able to assess your condition and help you understand what it is going to take to recover. If you need to be referred out for additional services we are happy to help refer you.
If you have a misaligned joint it is vital that you are working with a chiropractor. Many patients never make it that far which is unfortunate. Their employer sets them up for a medical visit and they end up in physical therapy. Physical therapy is sometimes necessary, but physical therapists are not trained to correct misaligned joints. This leaves many patients struggling to recover properly.

I have injured my back sometime during the summer of 2002, for many years thru physical activities such as martial arts, police work & weight lifting, my Medical Doctor as well as other chiropractors told me due to my injuries (4 herniated discs & 3 bulging discs) I would no longer be able to workout with weights or participate in martial arts! I was always in pain and needed to take medication to go to sleep, Surgery was also recommended. During my initial visit I was explained by the doctors that thru chiropractic treatments (adjustments & traction) and specific strength & stretching exercises I should improve my condition. It worked!!!!...I now own & participate in my Judo & Ju-jutsu Club, work out on a regular basis and no pain medication. The care that I experienced at Main Rehabilitation Center improved the quality of my life and forever I am grateful.
"I was diagnosed with lyme disease few years ago that caused muscle stiffness, inflammation, pain and sever headaches. A couple of months under treatment, including Physical Therapy, Chiropractic and Traction made me feel like a new person and gave me a new beginning on life. The quality of care that I received from the Physical Therapist, Chiropractor and Staff alike at Main Rehabilitation Center was by far superior."
