Workplace injuries can be traumatic, stressful, debilitating, and potentially life-altering. If you are injured on the job in the state of Illinois, the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act is a protective benefit that requires employers to pay lost wages, medical treatment, retraining for new positions, and compensation for permanent disabilities. Chiropractic care is covered under Workers Comp and can be an excellent modality to facilitate healing following a work injury. Dr. Adam Bezanis of Lemont Chiropractic Center in Lemont, IL, is a licensed chiropractic physician and certified acupuncturist who offers a wide variety of treatment services that can address pain and other ailments that can result from being injured on the job.
What Are Common Workplace Injuries?
Workplace injuries can occur from automobile accidents, slips and falls, electrical injuries, or chronic repetitive stress injuries, which can affect the back and other parts of the body. When injured on the job, workers may experience whiplash from vehicular accidents, concussions, neck injuries, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, carpal tunnel from typing and repetitive hand motions, and hand injuries.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help?
Following initial medical care and treatment, many workers continue to experience pain, headaches, chronic fatigue, physical tension, depression, and related post-traumatic ailments. Rather than suffer in silence, Lemont Chiropractic Center encourages you to make an appointment for a comprehensive evaluation with Dr. Bezanis, where he will overview your injuries, past medical history, and lifestyle factors and provide an individualized treatment and wellness plan to help facilitate the healing of your injuries.
Chiropractic care is a holistic, non-invasive, drug-free treatment approach that addresses the alignment of the spine and musculoskeletal system and can be particularly effective for addressing back pain, neck pain, spinal injuries, and headaches. Chiropractic care often utilizes chiropractic adjustments and spinal manipulation to ensure that the spine is in its proper alignment. Through this process, many patients experience reduced stress on ligaments and joints, relaxation of tight muscles, and improvements in circulation. Since workplace injuries frequently result in back and neck pain, chiropractic care is a particularly effective treatment pathway for these areas of the body.
