Yes, chiropractic is one of the best first-line treatments for the muscle, joint, and disc injuries that workplace incidents produce. At Full Swing Healthcare we handle both the clinical side and the workers’ comp documentation so you can focus on getting better and back to work.
Common Work Injuries We Treat
Most of what we see falls into three buckets:
- Lower back strain from lifting: the combination of load, flexion, and rotation is hard on lumbar discs and the surrounding muscles. It’s the single most frequent work injury we treat.
- Neck and mid-back strain from repetitive or sustained postures: overhead work, reaching across a line, or hours at a keyboard add up. Healthcare workers, warehouse staff, and office professionals all come through our door with these.
- Slip-and-fall injuries: the compressive and rotational forces from an unexpected fall can strain the spine anywhere from the tailbone to the base of the skull.
We also treat cumulative repetitive strain injuries of the shoulder, forearm, and wrist, injuries that build over months or years rather than happening in a single moment. These respond well to chiropractic adjustments combined with soft tissue work.
A Real Example from Jacksonville
A patient came to us from a logistics company near Jacksonville International Airport after straining her lower back moving freight. She’d seen an occupational health clinic the day of the injury and was prescribed anti-inflammatories and rest. Three days later the pain had worsened and she had right leg radiation. Dr. Cody Muren found an L4-L5 disc irritation with nerve root involvement. He used techniques appropriate for disc presentations alongside spinal decompression. She was back on modified duty in ten days and full duty in four weeks.
Workers’ Comp Documentation, We Handle It
Workers’ compensation carriers require objective functional documentation at every visit. We provide exactly that, progress notes, functional outcome measures, and the reports your adjuster will ask for. We accept workers’ comp authorizations; just call us with your authorization information before your first visit.
