Work Injury

If you're like most people, you probably don't think much about work injuries until you or someone you know suffers from one. In fact, many Americans are injured on the job every year. While some workplace injuries are minor and can be treated at home, others may require the care of a chiropractic doctor. We at Elan Wellness Center are a chiropractic practice that can help, and we serve Westchase, FL, Tampa, FL, Oldsmar, FL, Odesa, FL, and Citrus Park, FL. If you're not sure what to do if you're injured at work, here are some tips to help you get the care you need.

Your Westchase Chiropractor for A Work Injury Accident

Seek Medical Attention Quickly if Your Injury Is Serious

If you've suffered a broken bone, severe burn, or any other serious personal injury, it's important to seek medical attention immediately. In addition to getting the treatment you need, this will also help ensure that your employer is notified of your injury and can begin the workers' compensation process.

Make Sure Your Employer Is Aware of Your Injury

Even if your personal injury is minor, you should still inform your employer about it as soon as possible. This is important for two reasons: first, your employer may be required to file a workers' compensation claim on your behalf; and second, your employer can help you get the treatment you need by directing you to the right medical provider.

Get Treatment from a Chiropractor 

If your injury is minor, you may be able to treat it at home with over-the-counter medication and ice. However, if your pain is more severe, you may need to see a chiro doctor or other medical professional for treatment. A chiropractic professional on our team is trained to treat conditions like back pain, neck pain, and headaches and can often provide relief without the need for medication or surgery.

Follow Our Chiropractor's Treatment Plan

Once you've seen our chiropractor for your injury, it's important to follow her treatment plan to recover as quickly as possible. This may include attending regular chiropractic appointments, doing at-home exercises, and making lifestyle changes like getting more exercise and eating a healthy diet.
