Work Injury Treatment in Burlington, NJ
Workplace injuries do not only happen during slips and falls. More often, they result from repetitive movements and the physical demands of your job over time. At Burlington Chiropractic, our doctors in Burlington, NJ provide thorough examinations and non-invasive care to identify the root cause of your work injury, relieve pain, and help you return to work safely.
Symptoms of a Workplace Injury
Work injuries are best identified by their symptoms, which can include:
- Lower back pain
- Shoulder pain
- Carpal tunnel and hand pain
- Disc injuries
- Sciatica
- Joint pain
- Neck pain and headaches
Common Causes of Work Injuries
Lifting heavy objects, repetitive tasks, prolonged sitting or standing, poor workstation ergonomics, vibrating equipment, and slips, trips, and falls can all lead to injury. Because many work injuries develop gradually, it is important to share every symptom you are experiencing so we can identify the cause.
Thorough Examination and Treatment
Being examined by a chiropractor is often the first step in identifying and treating a work injury without invasive procedures. Our 5 Phase Bio-Structural Evaluation, including digital X-rays and nerve testing, provides objective findings to guide care. Your plan may include adjustments, Active Release Technique, Graston Technique, physiotherapy, and corrective exercises.
Workers’ Compensation
If you were injured on the job, your care may be covered by workers’ compensation. Learn more on our worker’s compensation page. We also provide ergonomic and lifting guidance through lifestyle advice to help prevent reinjury.
