Work related injuries that cause back pain are the most common reason employees miss time on the job. In New York City, Manhattan NY chiropractic offices are busy with patients who are experiencing neck and lower back pain from something that happened at work.

Workers who choose to go to the chiropractor are less likely to lose work time than those who don't. Even if they are out of work, the amount of time lost is usually less than for those who decide to let the injury heal on its own.

A lot of people who get hurt on the job try to use non-prescription medications to alleviate the pain and discomfort of their injuries. This may help over the short term, but does not necessarily solve the problem. An experienced chiropractor can evaluate the situation and come up with long term solutions to any sprains, strains, or other injuries that have occurred.

Industrial and construction workers have jobs that put stress and strain on their back and neck muscles every day. Other workers may experience a single incident on the job that causes some type of injury.

Chiropractors can relieve workers that have repetitive stress injuries or carpal tunnel syndrome brought on by long hours spent working on the assembly line or in front of a computer screen. They know how to ease median nerve pressure that runs through a patient's forearm and wrist.

Chronic headaches sometimes result from work related injuries. Chiropractors can help alleviate these problems as well.

Other common side effects of problems related to work might include nerve tingling, numbness, tendonitis, and bursitis. Seeking professional help for these problems is usually more effective than waiting for them to go away.
