Consult With Our Bellevue Chiropractor if You Have Work-Related Injuries

A nagging ache or pain at the workplace shouldn't be ignored. Because you spend so much time at work, "ignoring" a problem could just lead to chronic issues. Even if a pain does seem to go away, there still could be underlying factors which, if left unaddressed, could increase your risk for re-injury! Our Bellevue chiropractor Dr. Owens is happy to help resolve your work injury naturally. 

Common Pains in the Workplace Which Could Indicate a Need for a Chiropractic Visit 

• Neck pain, stiffness, and soreness. This is often caused by frequent slouching or looking down at a smartphone or computer (tech neck). It may also occur after a slip, fall, or auto accident due to a syndrome is known as whiplash. 
• Headaches and jaw pain. We see these symptoms frequently with forwarding head positioning or whiplash. Even excessive computer use or stress can lead to headaches and jaw pain and tension. 
• Shoulder, arm, and hand pain or numbness. People who perform a repetitive movement or frequent lifting may experience muscle strains, partial or full joint dislocations, or tendonitis. If a nerve becomes compressed in the neck or wrist, numbness and tingling can occur in the arm or hand (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome). 
• Back pain and stiffness. People who sit for too long or have poor work ergonomics often experience lower back pain, a leading cause of disability. Chiropractic adjustments and exercises to improve alignment and core stability can help resolve low back pain.  
• Buttocks and leg pain or numbness. If the sciatic nerve becomes compressed in the lower back (usually by altered discs or joint spaces), numbness, pain, and even weakness can develop in the leg.
• Heel and foot pain. Standing for too long or overdoing physical exertion can irritate the tissues on the bottom of your feet and cause plantar fasciitis.
