Many workplace injuries cause musculoskeletal disorders that can be made worse by the work environment. These are often signified by symptoms such as debilitating pain, tingling, or numbness, which make a person less productive and may lead to temporary to permanent disability. Many people find themselves becoming unable to perform their assigned tasks, which may result in lost time and wages, along with increased medical bills. A Knox County chiropractor can help victims of such circumstances.

Injuries of this type often occur because of circumstances where one pushes, carries, or pulls heavy objects, does heavy lifting, or performs forceful or prolonged repetitive movements. Chiropractic means can assist.

Doctors of chiropractic medicine employ techniques such as safe, natural, and noninvasive adjustments to the spine in order to improve the condition and restore health. This is accomplished by using gentle and controlled force to misaligned vertebrae. This is effective whenever incorrectly positioned discs impair regular function. Manual skeletal manipulation can reduce inflammation, pain, tension, and muscle spasms, while removing nerve irritations which may limit one's ability to work.

A Knox County chiropractor can also adjust your pelvis, your hand and feet joints, ankle and wrist joints, and knee and elbow joints, in addition to your jaw, shoulders, ribs, and hips. One of their primary methods is called an Atlas Orthogonal Technique, which has been very successful in returning patients' bodies to a more healthy and balanced condition.

The life of a joint can be extended through restoring and enhancing its function. The first visit usually consists of a comprehensive consultation, medical history review, physical examination, and review of contributing factors. It may be necessary to also take X-rays or other diagnostic imaging.

Following the consult, some patients might undergo certain care procedures such as physical therapy, therapeutic massage, joint adjustments, or spinal manipulations.

These doctors have significant dealings with workers compensation, so they are fully capable of addressing any concerns and answering related questions a patient may have.
