For most people, the ideal work day is one that goes smoothly. They continue their job and no hiccups happen along the way. Unfortunately, the issues that can happen at work not only stress you but can even contribute to an injury. If you get hurt on the job, Dr. Jim Hazard of Solvang, CA, with a mobile service serving Santa Ynez Valley, has a workers comp service and can come to your aid.
General Information
Workers comp is a term that describes when you get hurt on the job. It doesn't necessarily have to be a lawsuit filed against your company for pain and suffering. It can merely include you getting some time off or being on transitional duty for a period of time. Any of your medical care for the incident is covered by your employer in full.
What Workers Comp Services We Offer
Part of our care may include routine chiropractic adjustments. Let's say you had a slip and fall at work. The impact of the fall can easily affect your spinal alignment, leading to you having more pain than just a little bruising. Through our treatment, we can correct any misalignments and optimize your nervous system while eliminating stress on the neighboring soft tissue and nerves.
Perhaps you herniated a disc when you lifted something heavy. We can offer spinal decompression therapy to allow that disc to heal without any unneeded pressure on it. With this treatment, our chiropractor will ask you to lie on a table, and he'll use a specialized device to gently pull the spine in opposing directions. This allows the disc to take a "breather" and heal without any added stress.
If you were lifting an item and wrenched your arm, we may recommend exercise therapy. For this treatment, our chiropractor will guide you through exercises that work the muscles and soft tissue. It'll promote healing and ease your pain simultaneously.
At our Solvang, CA, office, we also offer massage therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, electrical stimulation therapy, and cryotherapy. And part of your care will include lifestyle advice.
Why Chiropractic Care for Workers Comp
Chiropractic care allows you to heal from your injury to the best of your ability. You'll regain as much function and flexion as possible to resume work with less pain and problems. Some treatments specifically target pain while others manage your pain while promoting healing as well.
Dr. Hazard offers workers comp chiropractic care at his Solvang, CA, office. It might be just what you need to recover more comfortably and get back to work and living life as normal sooner.
