By Lance Aldinger


Work-related injuries most often affect the back and neck. Industrial accident can cause people to endure considerable physical, financial and emotional hardship. Employees who are injured should schedule visits with chiropractors as soon as they can, both to alleviate their discomfort and expedite their healing, but also to limit the likelihood of having their injuries recur. People who wait to be seen by medical professionals often have lengthier recoveries. For more than twenty years, this SE Portland chiropractor has helped patients gain considerable relief from injuries that they have sustained while on the job.

Sometimes, an injury is severe enough that an employee needs to take time off from work. The SE Portland chiropractor communicates with employers to explain why and for how long respite is needed. The practitioner is also knowledgeable in navigating Workman's Compensation forms and related claims.

When patients arrive for an appointment, care providers will conduct a thorough exam, using advanced digital-imaging technologies if needed. They will also explain the results of the exam and address patients' concerns. When the underlying causes of pain are identified, chiropractors engage patients in three phases of care.

The first consists of relief care, as its focus is on alleviating pain. The number of appointments needed depends on the amount of pain the patient is experiencing.

The second phase in this type of care is corrective and rehabilitative. The second phases may last as long as two years or it could span just six months, with patients visiting their providers' offices between four and eight times each month.

The final step or step three is called wellness care and its starts once the body has healed complete. Adjustments are performed on a periodic basis to prevent injuries from recurring.

Chiropractors understand how important it is to communicate with other professionals within the medical plan in order to promote optimal health for their patients. They collaborate with primary physicians throughout their care. If other serviced are needed, chiropractors can also provide referrals to orthopedic surgeons, neurologists and other practitioners.

The SE Portland chiropractor helps to minimize the impact of work-related injuries, helping employees recover faster and safely return to work as soon as possible.
