Find Answers to Work Injury FAQs at Lott Chiropractic in Lincoln, NE

The team at Lott Chiropractic wants you to consider our clinic in Lincoln, NE for natural, individualized, and comprehensive wellness care after sustaining an acute or chronic work injury. We get so many important questions about this broad topic and are happy to provide some clarity on the issue.

What is a Work Injury?

A work injury may be acute and happen suddenly or chronic and develop gradually over time due to cumulative stress. Injuries occurring on the job are estimated to cost billions of dollars a year in lost wages and disability payouts.

Some of the most common types of work injury we see at our clinic include:

• Back pain related to chronic conditions like stenosis, degenerative disc disease, or osteoarthritis
• Tech neck, caused by prolonged neck flexion while looking down at a computer or smartphone
• Muscle spasms, tendonitis, and ligament sprains (often in the shoulder, spine, and leg)
• Carpal tunnel syndrome (we see this among people who type frequently), sciatica, and other nerve compression syndromes
• Disc herniation or disc bulge
• Plantar fasciitis, which causes sharp heel pain and inflammation of the underside of the foot

What Puts Me at Risk for a Work Injury?

The following factors may lead to a work injury:

• Poor posture
• Frequent heavy lifting, bending or twisting with the spine
• Inefficient ergonomics at your desk or immediate work environment
• Sitting or standing too long
• Obesity
• Poor body mechanics
• Repetitive movement 
• Trauma, such as a slip, fall, or auto accident (these may lead to whiplash, or neck pain and stiffness plus additional symptoms)

Multiple factors are often at play, including personal and family history. Importantly, both sedentary workers and physical laborers can sustain injuries on the job.
