If you are injured because you were trying to lift heavy objects, it's time to see how a chiropractor can help. Whether you were at work or trying a new exercise, lifting injuries can be debilitating. At Chiropractic Wellness Center in Newcastle, we will assess your injuries, and develop a treatment plan that is right for you.
Assessing Your Injuries
When you seek chiropractic care for lifting injuries, you will go through a careful evaluation to determine what is going on with your body. You will discuss what you were doing at the time of your injury, and a medical history will be taken. Imaging may be done to rule out fractures. Once the chiropractor determines what is causing your pain, a treatment plan will be created to provide the treatment you need.
Treatment for Common Lifting Injuries
Common lifting injuries include strained muscles, spine misalignment, shoulder strain, and knee or hip injuries. In general, if you aren't lifting correctly, you can injure almost any part of your body in the process. Treatment will be focused on reducing your inflammation, dealing with any spinal misalignments, and managing your muscle strain. If you are struggling with mobility or tightness due to your lifting injuries, hot or cold therapy, ultrasound, or spinal adjustments might be part of your treatment plan.
