If you recently had a slip and fall at work, you may have a workman’s comp claim. These injuries may result in back and neck pain which an experienced chiropractor like Dr. E’rika Brock in Temple Hills, MD, can help with. Under her care, you can find pain relief from lingering injuries that may have put you out of work, and we can hopefully get you on the road to recovery.
What Are Common Work Injuries?
Some of the most common injuries in the workplace are slips, falls, and trips that result in dislocations. If you do heavy lifting, you can easily herniate a spinal disc. Lifting heavy objects and repeated tasks can also overwork the musculoskeletal system, resulting in sprains and strains. Dr. Brock can help you find relief from chronic pain and the limited range resulting from these injuries.
Why You May Need Spinal Manipulation
When you are getting care for your workman's comp issue in Temple Hills, MD, Dr. Brock can provide the gentle and individualized care you need in relation to your injury. Come to her for spinal manipulation to reduce spinal pressure and soft tissue inflammation. As she eases the pressure from your spine, you can improve your mobility and reduce or eliminate pain. An untreated bulging disc can put pressure on the root of a nearby nerve, such as the sciatic nerve that runs from the lower back down to the back of your heel. As Dr. Brock manipulates your spinal discs back into place over a series of sessions, you will notice a reduction in this neuropathic issue, and feel better throughout your lower body.
What Is the Pro-Adjuster Method?
One of the tools Dr. Brock uses for spinal manipulation is the Pro-Adjuster. This device uses computer technology to deliver the ideal adjustment for you. The instrument goes over the spine with oscillating force to deliver a precise adjustment without the need for twisting or applying force to any other part of your body. It is a gentle approach that also helps work the soft tissue.
