Palmer Chiropractic Clinic in Kent WA Now Offering Work Rehabilitation Programs to Patients

The qualified professionals at Palmer Chiropractic Clinic offer work rehabilitation
programs to help patients recover from on-the-job injuries and prevent them
from happening again.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Kent, WA – February 20, 2017 – Dr. Bussard, D.C., and his staff of qualified professionals at Palmer
Chiropractic Clinic are pleased to announce that they provide work rehabilitation programs for patients
who have sustained on-the-job injuries.

Chiropractors are concerned with relieving pain, restoring functioning, and preventing subsequent
injuries, without resorting to medications or surgery. Work-related injuries can occur as the result of a
one-time event, such as a slip-and-fall accident. In other cases, they happen over time due to repetitive
activities, such as typing at a computer all day or frequent heavy lifting.

Chiropractic improves strength, flexibility, and functional abilities. Spinal adjustments and adjunct
therapies, such as massage, alleviate pain and swelling, accelerating recovery. Patients will likely be
given exercises to do at home between appointments to build stamina and minimize the risk of
recurring pain and injuries. Care plans are customized according to the unique needs of each patient.

Chiropractors also educate patients on how to avoid injuries in the first place. They provide ergonomic
instruction so that employees can modify their workstations or avoid habits that negatively affect their
health. For instance, patients who are susceptible to overuse injuries learn proper lifting techniques to
avoid placing too much strain on the back.

The Kent chiropractor advises those who have been injured at work to file a claim through their
employer within five days of becoming aware that the injury occurred. The Workers Compensation
Board generally covers initial assessments and decides whether to approve any additional services that
may be recommended.

The practitioner also provides work-site evaluations to identify and mitigate injury risks. To learn more
