Specialized Care for the Modern Workforce
Stop lettingpain control your life. At Urban Chiropractic, we don’t just mask your symptoms—we find and treat the root cause of your pain.
Work-related injuries aren’t exclusive to physically demanding jobs like construction. In fact, many occur in the office due to repetitive, everyday activities that cause trauma over time. While 374 million non-fatal work-related injuries occur each year, nearly 90 percent affect the back and neck. At Urban Chiropractic, we specialize in treating these overuse injuries before they lead to chronic pain or workplace absenteeism.
Common Occupational Injuries We Treat
Occupational Injuries
From substandard ergonomics to overexertion, work injuries often stem from gradual stress or sudden mishaps that create long-term expenses and physical limitations.
You might feel:
- Chronic neck and back pain that worsens throughout the work shift.
- Burning sensations or difficulty gripping objects (Carpal Tunnel signs).
- Sharp localized pain after lifting, pulling, or falling.
- Persistent headaches and nerve pain radiating from the neck.
Usually caused by:
- Persistent headaches and nerve pain radiating from the neck.
- Poor Posture & Ergonomics (substandard desk setups straining the spine).
- Overexertion & Lifting (improperly moving heavy objects or falling objects).
- Physical Accidents (missteps on wet floors or slips and falls).
How Urban Chiropractic Helps
At Urban Chiropractic, we provide personalized, non-invasive care focused on correcting the underlying causes of pain—not just temporary relief.
- Spinal Adjustments and Decompression: Realigns the spine to relieve pressure caused by static posture or sudden impact.
- Active Release Therapy (ART): Specifically targets the repetitive strain injuries common in the wrists, elbows, and shoulders.
- Postural & Gait Analysis: Identifies how your specific work habits are contributing to your structural pain.
How to Prevent Work Injuries
- Master the lift
Always bend at the knees and keep heavy loads close to your chest to protect your spine.
- Adjust your view
Set your monitor at eye level to prevent “Tech Neck” and upper back strain.
- Take micro-breaks
Stand, stretch, and reset your posture every 30 minutes to combat sedentary fatigue.
- Wear proper gear
Utilize supportive footwear and ergonomic tools designed for your specific job tasks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my injury was gradual, not a one-time accident?
“Cumulative trauma” is a valid work injury. Many Carpal Tunnel and disc issues are covered even if there wasn’t a specific “event” at work.
What is "Repetitive Strain Injury" (RSI)?
RSI is a general term for injuries caused by repeated movements, such as Carpal Tunnel from typing or Tendonitis from assembly line work.
Can I see a chiropractor if I sit all day and have "dull" pain?
Treatment frequency depends on the cause and severity of your pain. Many patients notice improvement within a few visits.
