Injury Management Brisbane

Every workplace can have an impact on the body of its employees – whether you have a physical job on a construction site or an office job in the city. Overtime or by accident, the conditions in a workplace can lead to injury. When this happens, a process called injury management incorporates the employer, medical team, insurer and other potential stakeholders together to help the injured person through their recovery and help them return to work.

If you are suffering from a workplace injury, a chiropractor may be able to help you. Chiropractic care is a natural and holistic health care profession that focuses on removing misalignments of the joints of the spine, pelvis and other joints of the body to assist with the function of the nervous system and body as a whole. Using adjustments, chiropractors assist to heal areas of tension and pain without the use of pharmaceutical drugs and restore balance and function to the body.

Dr Miki Humphrey helps with injury management Brisbane. She holds a Bachelor of Chiropractic and is trained in a range of chiropractic and soft tissue techniques such as dry needling. Chiropractic can be used to decrease musculoskeletal pain, improve posture, improve flexibility, as well as prevent, treat and manage a range of injuries.

Why Is Injury Management Important?

A workplace can have a much larger impact on an employee than at first glance. Injury management is important because it provides employees with many physical, psychological and financial benefits. Effective injury management also minimizes work disruption and reduces the cost to both employee and employee.

For Injury Management Success, it’s important that employers accept responsibility and get involved. Simply lodging the paperwork of a workers compensation claim and taking a backseat is far from the best approach. Instead, they should take an active role in the case as they have the greatest ability to shape the injury management process from incident to recovery. It’s in the employers best interest to participate as this will achieve a better outcome overall and greater business success. As an injured worker, the prospect of recovering and resuming a normal lifestyle is uplifting and in turn, employers experienced workers are retained, productivity is restored soon and claim cost are reduced.

Common Workplace Injuries

Naturally, workplace injuries vary greatly depending on the industry and job role. In physical jobs such as construction or mining, employers take many steps to reduce the chance of industry through OSHA guidelines and regular safety inspections. Office workplaces may also try to mitigate employee injury by offering Yoga classes, massages or an ergonomic assessment.

However, this still cannot mitigate all risks and InjuryFacts states the Top Work-Related Injury Causes are overexertion and bodily reaction, slips, trips and falls, and contact with objects and equipment. Some injuries may be caused by an accident, whilst others result from completing repetitive tasks on a daily basis. Some of the workplace injuries chiropractic care can help with include headaches, neck pain, nerve damage, back pain, sprains, carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis.

How Chiropractic Treatment Can Help

A chiropractor will first diagnose the injury, then create a treatment plan to address the cause of symptoms and monitor your progress as you recover. As well trained professionals in body mechanics and alternative therapy, treatment methods may use a combination of spinal adjustments, exercise therapy and heat/ice therapy to help you return to normal.

Your chiropractor will use an integrative approach and work in tandem with you to determine the best treatment options. Rest assured, the goal of every treatment is to restore full function to your body.
