Specific Chiropractic Chiropractic Care

Workers’ care comp can cover chiropractic adjustments. Chiropractic adjustments typically involve using hands or a small instrument to target a distressed or injured spinal joint. Chiropractors locate areas of spinal misalignment. These misalignments cause pain and interfere with proper nerve flow. Correcting these misalignments reduces nerve tension, relieving pain and optimizing the nervous system to function properly and accelerate healing.

Massage Therapy

Massage helps break down scar tissue and relieve muscle tension that may be causing pain or nerve impingement. Massage benefits include:

• Decreased stress and increased relaxation
• Reduction of muscle pain and soreness
• Improved circulation and general awareness
• Lower blood pressure and lower heart rate
• Immune system boost

All these benefits can improve the quality of your life at work and at home. With improved overall health, getting more done at work is much easier. Improved moods can increase your energy and boost your concentration. Most importantly, they can treat your injured spine and have you back to work in almost no time. That’s the power of workers’ comp care.

Decompression Therapy

Imagine being unable to move without wincing or almost wanting to scream. Back pain can feel almost eternal for those reasons. It appears as though there’s no end in sight. But there is relief, and that relief is called decompression therapy, which is a part of workers’ comp care.

Decompression is an excellent treatment for disc injuries, including bulged and herniated discs. Chiropractors use this nonsurgical approach to put negative pressure on the spine, relieving tension on the spinal discs. The discs have room to return to their normal shape as nutrients flood the discs to encourage healing.

Therapeutic Exercises

When you’re suffering extreme spinal pain, the first thing that hits your mind is to lay around with an ice or a heat pack. But there’s evidence that proves that lying around may worsen your symptoms. Movement may feel somewhat painful but will have longer-lasting benefits for your recovery. There are a few simple therapeutic exercises that help. Your chiropractor will prescribe specific exercises based on your consultation, exam, and goals. The exercises are designed to address your particular needs.
