Whether you sit at a desk or lift heavy objects for a living, workplace injuries are common—and often ignored until they get worse. At Westport Chiropractic & Rehab, we help Louisville workers recover from injuries caused by repetitive stress, poor ergonomics, or sudden accidents on the job.
Chiropractic care can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support return-to-work efforts without medication or surgery.
Common Workplace Injuries We Treat
We treat patients from a range of occupations—teachers, drivers, warehouse staff, office workers, and healthcare professionals. Common injuries we see include:
- Lower back pain from prolonged sitting or lifting
- Neck pain due to screen positioning or posture strain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Shoulder and upper back tightness
- Numbness or tingling in arms and hands
- Headaches triggered by neck tension
- Muscle pulls or strain injuries from slips or overexertion
If you’ve been hurt at work or are noticing repetitive strain symptoms, we’ll help you recover with a personalized care plan.
How Chiropractic Supports Workplace Injury Recovery
Chiropractic care focuses on correcting alignment and relieving the nerve irritation and muscle tension that often result from poor mechanics or repetitive tasks.
Treatment may include:
- Chiropractic adjustments for spine and joint alignment
- Decompression therapy for disc pressure
- Shockwave therapy for soft tissue inflammation
- Ergonomic counseling for workstation or task modifications
- Home exercises to support recovery between visits
We also help patients understand how to prevent reinjury with better body mechanics and postural habits.
Workers’ Compensation and Return to Work
If you’re dealing with a job-related injury, chiropractic care can often be used as part of a workers’ compensation treatment plan.
While Westport Chiropractic does not bill workers’ comp insurance directly, many patients use flexible health coverage, HSA/FSA accounts, or attorney-guided claims to receive care.
We’re happy to provide documentation and communicate with legal or medical professionals involved in your case.
When to Seek Care for a Work Injury
You should consider chiropractic treatment if:
- You’ve experienced pain or stiffness at work that won’t go away
- You had a fall or strain incident, even if symptoms didn’t appear immediately
- You’re seeing reduced range of motion, numbness, or weakness
- You want a natural, non-invasive option for recovery
- Your injury is interfering with your ability to work or move
