Workplace Injuries Attended By Knox County Chiropractor

By Salena Chery


A Knox County chiropractor would like to tell you how they can help work injury victims. Many work-related injuries are musculoskeletal disorders either caused or worsened in the work environment. Many people suffer from numbness, debilitating pain, and tingling, which can cause reduced worker productivity, permanent or temporary disability, and lost work time. They find themselves increasingly unable to perform the job tasks required of them, and worse yet, they face increased workers compensation expenses.

These types of injuries frequently occur due to circumstances like prolonged, forceful, or repetitive movements, repetitious heavy lifting, or by pulling, carrying, or pushing on heavy objects. Chiropractic care can help.

Chiropractic doctors utilize natural and safe non-invasive techniques to restore health and improve one's condition. They perform adjustments by applying controlled gentle force to spinal vertebrae that have become misaligned. This is especially effective when a misalignment is impairing natural function. Manual manipulation of the spine can actively reduce muscle spasms, tension, inflammation, and pain, while also eliminating nerve irritations that could limit one's capability to work.

A Knox County chiropractor can also adjust your pelvis, your hand and feet joints, ankle and wrist joints, and knee and elbow joints, in addition to your jaw, shoulders, ribs, and hips. One of their primary methods is called an Atlas Orthogonal Technique, which has been very successful in returning patients' bodies to a more healthy and balanced condition.

Through restored and enhanced function, a joint's lifespan may be extended. On the first visit, a patient will consult with their doctor, discussing circumstances of their condition, receive a medical review and full physical exam. Diagnostic imaging - including x-rays- may be taken if deemed necessary.

Some patients may have their first session at this time, which could consist of actions such as spinal manipulation, joint adjustments, therapeutic massage, or physical therapy.

These doctors have significant dealings with workers compensation, so they are fully capable of addressing any concerns and answering related questions a patient may have.
