Common Injuries
Work Injuries We Treat in Arlington
Some work injuries happen in a second, like a slip or a heavy lift. Others build over months of repetitive motion or long hours at a desk. Either way, we find the cause, treat it and build a plan around your job, so you can get back to work safely.
Neck Pain
Common in office and repetitive-motion jobs. Desk posture, long shifts or a fall can cause stiffness, headaches or shooting pain.
Back Pain
Lifting, slips and long hours on your feet can strain the lower back. Care relieves pressure on the spine and restores movement.
Shoulder Pain
Overhead work, lifting and awkward reaching strain the shoulder. Adjustments, soft tissue therapy and exercises help it move well again.
Wrist and Hand Strain
Keyboard work and repetitive gripping can lead to carpal tunnel symptoms such as numbness and tingling in the fingers.

Do You Accept Workers’ Comp?

What Should I Do After an Injury at Work?
Report it to your employer right away, get checked and keep a record of every visit and symptom. If you want chiropractic care as part of your claim, call us and we will help coordinate it.
Can I Keep Working While I See a Chiropractor?
In many cases, yes. Care is designed to help you heal while you keep your normal routine. If your job makes the injury worse, Dr. Woodbury will recommend changes to your activity until it heals.
How Often Will I Need to Come Back?
It depends on the injury. Some patients feel relief after a few visits, while long-standing injuries need more time. We review your progress at each visit and adjust your plan as you heal.
When Should You Not Get Adjusted by a Chiropractor?
See a medical doctor first for a suspected broken bone, numbness that is spreading, weakness that gets worse, loss of bladder or bowel control, or a sudden severe headache. Your first visit starts with a full exam so Dr. Woodbury can check for signs like these.
Can You Help Me Avoid Getting Hurt Again?
We include ergonomic advice and strengthening exercises so your body is ready for the work you do.
