Palmer Chiropractic Clinic in Kent WA Offers Work Rehabilitation Programs for On-the-JobInjury Sufferers
For those with on-the-job injuries, Palmer Chiropractic Clinic offers work rehabilitation programs that
not only help patients recover faster, but also teach them how to prevent injuries in the first place.
Kent, WA – April 20, 2018 – Dr. Brian Bussard, DC, and his team at Palmer Chiropractic Clinic
want prospective patients to know that they provide comprehensive care for on-the-job injuries.
Work-related injuries sometimes happen suddenly, such as when an employee has a slip-and-fall
accident at the job site. In other cases, pain and injuries develop over time because of frequent,
repetitive motions, such as daily heavy lifting or typing at a computer for hours on end. Whatever the
cause, it’s important for affected employees to file a workers compensation claim within five days of
becoming aware of the injury. The Workers Compensation Board covers the patient’s initial assessment
and, if appropriate, approves additional rehabilitation services.
After the initial evaluation, the chiropractor develops a care plan with the goal of returning patients to
their pre-injury condition. This usually includes spinal adjustments, often paired with massage therapy
to soothe inflamed muscles and joints. Chiropractic professionals use a variety of other modalities,
including acupuncture/electro-acupuncture and therapeutic ultrasound, to augment the effectiveness of
adjustments. Additionally, individually-tailored exercise programs stabilize vulnerable soft tissues,
reducing the risk of recurring injuries. The chiropractor uses state-of-the-art techniques to
enable patients to reach their highest possible level of wellness.
Receiving chiropractic care for work-related injuries offers several benefits, accelerating recovery so
patients can return to work as soon as possible. In addition to alleviating pain and restoring strength,
flexibility, and overall functioning, the chiropractor provides ergonomic instruction, such as coaching in
proper lifting techniques or tips for improving posture, that helps employees take a proactive role in
preventing subsequent injuries.
