Were You Hurt on the Job in Harrisburg?

If you have worked for any length of time, you have probably seen many instances of job-related injuries or chronic ailments. These work injuries can range from a dramatic spill off of a ladder to co-workers coping with wrist pain from years of keyboard or mouse usage. Musculoskeletal injuries lead the list of these workplace woes, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the situation continues to worsen nationwide.

If your employer offers workers compensation, however, you can receive medical treatment for at least some of these injuries. But did you know that you can also receive chiropractic care for job-related neck pain, back pain and other musculoskeletal injuries? Well, you can -- at least at our clinic.

Why have your spine checked? Many injuries cause spinal misalignments that can go unchecked amidst the more immediate symptoms such as bleeding or a fracture. When you suffer blood loss, get knocked unconscious, break a bone or suffer some other obvious injury at work, you know to get medical attention right away. But some work-related back or neck injuries may not hurt right away, and mild cases of muscle pain or stiffness tend to go untreated at the doctor's office. As time goes by, however, the problem worsens. If your company vehicle gets into an accident, for instance, your might walk away feeling fine, only to suffer the symptoms of whiplash weeks later. We urge anyone who has taken a fall or impact, on or off the job, to get a spinal evaluation. Prompt detection of lurking injuries can potentially save you a lot of downtime later on.
