It is a pretty wild statistic, but a worker gets injured or hurt on the job every 7 seconds. There are approximately 4.6 million injuries at the workplace in the U.S. and that continues to grow over the years. If you have suffered or been injured at work and this forces you to be unable to go in, you do not want a long recovery period, your goal is to get back on your feet and get back to work! No matter whether its back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, carpal tunnel or any other of the wide array of injuries, chiropractic care can help you overcome the workplace injury quickly. Here are some reasons you should see a chiropractor for a workplace injury.
HELP THE BODY HEAL NATURALLY
Chiropractic care aims to help you avoid invasive medical treatments, and avoid painkillers to make the pain subside. With chiropractic care the goal is to repair the body through gentle spinal adjustments to support the muscoskeletal structure. As the body is reset, it will naturally heal itself more effectively. In some cases, it is no unheard of that surgery may be avoided when chiropractic care is provided.
ESTABLISH THE CAUSE OF YOUR INJURIES
Sometimes you may not feel direct pain after a workplace injury, but even if you don't feel immediate pain it is important to see a trained chiropractor to evaluate your injury and overall health. As we are all aware, some symptoms dont manifest until days, weeks, or even months later. As time goes on it can be more difficult to prove that your injury did indeed happen on the job. Outside of dealing with your injury, you may have more difficulty fighting for workplace compensation. The faster you diagnose your injury can provide less headache and stress later.
SAVE MONEY ON TREATMENT
If you've ever had to experience an overnight stay at a hospital, you've certainly become aware of the financial situation after release. Unfortunately insurance will only cover so much which employers usually pay for the rest. You will be able to save money and time when going to a chiropractor as opposed to the traditional medicinal system. Only if your injuries don't require emergency care, of course.
RETURN TO WORK SOONER
It will naturally take time to recover from your injury and your goal is to get back to normal as quickly as possible. The goal is to avoid surgery if possible because this will put you out for quite some time, while surgery may be needed, its a great option to see a chiropractor to see if there are any potential alternatives. Chiropractic are alleviates pain fast and shortens the healing process.
