By Anabel Clark


Work place injuries are extremely common, and can be debilitating and seriously affect our quality of life. An SE Portland chiropractor can help you to feel better, give you some important ergonomic advice to help reduce future injury, and can also help you with sometimes complicated Workman's Compensation paperwork.

Repetitive motion injuries resulting from typing, using a computer 24/7, or constantly repeating the same movement over and over again can cause carpal tunnel syndrome, vision problems, and strained tendons and muscles. Back pain and neck pain are very common with repetitive motion injuries. You may also experience burning and tingling sensations and numbness as well as clumsiness and dull aches and pain.

Some folks suffer injuries due to overexertion at work. These injuries can be the result of pulling or pushing, holding or carrying, and lifting or throwing items. The chiropractic practitioner is able to evaluate your condition and offer therapy that includes spinal adjustments. The practitioner is also able to coordinate a plan that will reduce your pain level.

Such injuries may include strains, sprains, and bruising of the hip and lower back. Excessive lifting and bending can injure your spinal discs, causing pain radiating out to the hip, buttocks, and calf (sciatica), and most frequently, lower back pain. An skilled practitioner can use advanced gentle spinal manipulation to help to alleviate the pain. These professionals are very experienced in relieving workplace injury pain.

Other injuries commonly occur in the work place due to trips, slips, and falls. Slippery wet floors have caused many falls. In addition, items left on the floor that should not be are a trip fall hazard. Safety guidelines must be in practice to ensure that debris does not pile up and spills are cleaned up promptly.

Any fall can push the spine out from alignment, and cause trauma to muscles, ligaments, joints, and bones. The chiropractor can help by adjusting the spine to assist the body in getting back to good health. Therapies for injuries to the soft tissue are non invasive and drug free.
