Common Pains at Work That Signal a Chiropractic Visit

While people don't leave the house in the morning expecting that they are going to get hurt on the job, there are still people who get aches and pains from time to time. At Circle Chiropractic Center, P.C., our chiropractor is Dr. Christopher Frey. He specializes in helping people in the Fairfax area deal with pains that arise at work. There are a few specific pains that signal a visit is needed to the chiropractor.

Common Work Pains That We See at Circle Chiropractic Center, P.C.

Some of the most common pains that signal a visit to the chiropractor is needed include:

Wrist Pain:  Wrist pain could be a sign of something called carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome develops when inflammation in the wrist compresses the median nerve. This leads to shooting pains that travel down the arm into the fingers and hands. This happens when people type for hours on end at the computer.

Lower Back Pain: Lower back pain is common, particularly in those who lift heavy objects at work. it is important for everyone to lift with their legs and not their back. We can look at someone's back and make adjustments if they are required.

Neck Pain: Finally, poor work ergonomics can also place a lot of stress on the neck, leading to neck stiffness and pain. People might notice that it is hard to look up and down. In this situation, a chiropractor can look at the muscles and ligaments of the neck, performing manipulations to release tension.
