Ergonomic Posture and Related Problems

Ergonomics is a relatively new science that involves fitting a job to the physical limitations of the worker. It becomes an issue when workers are exposed to repetitive motions, force, awkward posture, or overexertion of certain muscles. For the most part these injuries may be very subtle in their initial stages but can progress to more serious conditions, such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, if not addressed early on.

Chiropractic

Chiropractic treatment involves addressing the source of the problem. The Doctor of Chiropractic discusses the set-up of the work station and makes suggestions to relieve stress on the body. Adjustments restore motion to joints that have become stiff, and soft tissue techniques are used to loosen tight muscles and restore full range of motion to the involved joints.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy addresses any muscular imbalances and relieves muscle tension. This treatment also involves addressing postural abnormalities and increasing range of motion.
