WORK INJURY TREATMENT IN SHERIDAN AT BIGHORN MOUNTAIN CHIROPRACTIC & ACUPUNCTURE
Did you know that at least 2.8 million workplace injuries or illnesses occurred in the United States in 2018? Many, but not all, of these injuries are related to physically demanding occupations. At Bighorn Mountain Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we want our hard-working community members to understand that a work injury can occur in almost any type of job. Sheridan chiropractor Dr. Gabriel Zeigler is proud to offer holistic care solutions that will help you heal quickly and fully if you receive a work injury.
Know Your Risk: Common Types of Work Injuries
Dr. Zeigler works with individuals of all ages struggling with pain, stiffness, swelling, weakness, and other issues associated with a work injury. These issues have common causes which include the following:
- Poor posture
- Poor ergonomic environment (e.g., desk set-up)
- Sitting too much
- Heavy and/or repetitive movements, including lifting, bending, or twisting
- Exposure to vibration
- Slips and falls
- Auto accidents
- Job stress
Keep in mind that when you're dealing with other issues such as insufficient sleep, a lack of proper nutrition, or even an underlying health condition like arthritis, migraines, or fibromyalgia, then your symptoms may be more likely to persist. These types of injuries can include muscle strains, ligament sprains, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis or bursitis, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, tech neck, tension headaches, and disc herniation or disc bulge. Many of these can progress to chronic issues like arthritis of the spine or degenerative disc disease if they are left unaddressed so just because a work injury isn't "that bad" doesn't mean you should ignore it.
