Worker's Compensation Chiropractor

Research shows that work-related injuries are responsible for billions of dollars each year in loss of productivity, wages, medical costs, employer costs, and cause millions of lost workdays each year. This research reveals that the most common cause of lost work time in those younger than 45 is back pain.

Chiropractic care has become one of the leading treatments for these types of work place injuries. Studies also show a significant decrease in the cost of care in those treated by chiropractors than compared to those treated primarily by a medical doctor. The duration of disability is also decreased when chiropractic care is involved. Workers treated with chiropractic are able to return to work much sooner and have a lower incidence of recurring back pain as well. 

The following is a list of common causes of back-related work place injuries and Worker's Comp Claims:
