Our Tips to Avoid Workplace Injury

With Labor Day just around the corner, we got to thinking about all the patients we’ve treated who have sustained workplace injuries. Most people think chiropractors are just for neck or back pain, but chiropractic can treat a variety of conditions, including those caused by your job. Here’s how chiropractic can help with work-related injuries.

Causes Behind Work-Related Injuries

Most people assume work-related injuries are caused by backbreaking physical labor. That certainly does happen, but lifting a giant bag of concrete isn’t the only way to injure yourself on the job. Small, repetitive tasks can be just as harmful. Common causes for work-related injuries include:

  • Force – If you have a physical job that requires lifting or moving heavy objects, then it can have a lasting impact on your neck and back. Whether practicing poor form while doing these tasks or just doing them so repetitively – either one can lead to injury. It’s important to know the proper way to lift, when to get help, and when to take a break.

  • Poor Posture – Sitting hunched over a keyboard all day can have some serious consequences. Poor posture puts unnecessary strain and stress on your shoulders, neck, back, and just about every part of your body. Chiropractic adjustments can help realign the spine and Dr. Tracey Stiles can suggest plenty of posture perfecting tips.

  • Repetition – If done over and over again, the same motion can put a lot of strain and stress on your bones and muscles. Even something as simple as typing on a keyboard or clicking a mouse can lead to injury, so maintain your regular chiropractic adjustments, take plenty of breaks throughout the day, and keep up with our workspace tips.

Patient Reviews

"My overall health has also improved because my allergies and my arthritis are also not as severe as they used to be. Dr. Stiles has always been very accommodating with her hours and appointments, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Over the years, I have recommended my sister, my best friend, my cousin and other friends to this office for chiropractic care."

-Anonymous

"Excellent patient care and a convenient location.  Dr. Stiles technique is gentle and effective.  The office staff is professional and flexible.  The office hours offer a wide array of times for busy working people.  I switched from a chiropractor that I loved for the location and have not lost anything in terms of service.  I highly recommend for pain management, maintenance and wellness services."

-Ruanda G.

"Not the typical doctors office.  Dr. Stiles & staff are friendly and are flexible with appointments. And my neck and my back feel great!"

-Kevin T.

"Dr. Stiles is very gentle and caring and helpful in explaining what was wrong with my neck and spine. She came up with a treatment plan for me for the next few months. I was re-examined a few weeks ago and showed a lot of improvement! All without surgery. I highly recommend this chiropractic office."

-Monique P.

"Everyone in the office is very nice and helpful. I started going to Dr. Stiles because I had vertigo for more than a year. My doctor just told me it would go away eventually and prescribed Dramamine (which just made me feel sick). I decided to try this method as a last effort to get rid of it and it's worked. I couldn't be happier with the results from my visits here. I would (and have) recommended her to friends and co-workers."

-Jennifer M.

"I've been seeing Dr. Stiles for the past 10 years and in that time, my sciatic nerve has stopped flaring up. I also have had no more middle ear infections or ringing in my ears. I first started going to Stiles Chiropractic for what I thought was the beginning of carpal tunnel syndrome, my wrists, hands and fingers were numb and tingling. After a few adjustments, I was feeling much better and have not had that issue since.

-Dee M.

"Dr. Stiles has been my chiropractor for almost a decade. Regular visits to Dr. Stiles help me prevent tension from escalating and causing severe, debilitating pain that I've had in the past. I used to "throw my back out" once or twice a year, resulting in my being unable to move for three or four days. With ongoing maintenance, I'm happy to say that that rarely happens anymore, and if it does, Dr. Stiles knows me well enough to help fix it right away."

-Cathy H.

"I see Dr Stiles every week for neck pain and she is amazing! She is very kind and responsive to her clients. Highly recommended."

-Samantha M.

"Dr. Stiles is stellar! I am a resident of Los Angeles and any time I'm in town this is my go to place for chiropractic. Dr. Stiles is very thorough and educated on every joint in the body. I feel at ease and in good hands and most importantly well-informed through our entire sessions. I always walk out feeling taller and poised with a healthy body!"

-Kaila H.

"Wonderful! Best Ever! – I have been to chiropractors throughout my life (good and bad ones) but I have had the best experience here with Dr. Tracey. She gave me a very detailed exam and took the time to go over my exam and explain a treatment plan that will help me feel better in the long run. And I am all about preventative maintenance! She also explained my adjustment so well, I didn't freak out. Her office is wonderful, Friendly and warm!!"
