Healing Work-Related Lift Injuries Through Chiropractic Care
A work place injury can force you to take time off work, and can prevent you from spending time with friends and family or enjoying your hobbies. At Northgate Chiropractic Clinic, our chiropractors are experts at diagnosing, assessing, and treating work injuries that cause back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain. We specialize in drug-free pain relief from work injuries in Rochester, MN and can help you get back to work and your regular daily activities as quickly as possible. Let’s take a look at how our chiropractic therapies can offer pain relief and rehabilitation after a work injury.
Evaluation and Assessment of Work Injuries
We will begin with a comprehensive evaluation and assessment of your work injury. We will take an x-ray to evaluate the extent of your injury so that we can design a personalized chiropractic care treatment plan. We will also ask you to perform some simple physical movements in front of us so that we can evaluate your strength, balance, range of motion, flexibility, and gait. Getting the complete picture of your injury will help us design your treatment plan and will help you file a workers compensation claim. We will work closely with you, your employer, and your company’s insurance company to coordinate care and promote rehabilitation.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care focuses on holistic, drug-free pain relief. We use treatment methods that promote the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Chiropractic adjustments address back pain, neck pain, spinal dysfunction and misalignment, disc herniation, stiffness, and loss of range of motion. During an adjustment, our chiropractor will use their hands or an instrument to apply force to your spine, muscles, joints, and limbs. This will gently shift your spine back into alignment to relieve pressure on the nerves, joints, and muscles. Chiropractic adjustments can provide pain relief, relieve inflammation and tenderness, and restore mobility and range of motion.
Massage Therapy
During massage therapy, your body will release natural painkilling hormones called endorphins. Massage therapy also loosens tight muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments. Because massage therapy promotes relaxation and relieves tension, the treatment can make it easier to get up and move around after a work injury. Massage therapy also improves the results of other chiropractic work injury treatments by making your body more receptive to treatment.
Reiki
Reiki is an all-natural, drug-free treatment that offers pain relief through energy healing. Reiki promotes relaxation, relieves tension and anxiety, and enhances the body’s natural healing processes. We have a partnership with Donna Magtibay, MSN, RN/Advanced Reiki Practitioner, IARP. Donna offers Reiki, chakra clearing, and Qi-Sagge to patients who have pain due to work injuries, auto injuries, and other types of injuries.
