Common Work Injuries in Marathon, WI

Work injuries can occur in various ways, and knowing the type can help with targeted treatment. Here are some frequently encountered work injuries:

• Traumatic Injuries: These sudden, one-time events can cause sprains, strains, fractures, or disc herniations. Slips, falls, or heavy lifting can all lead to traumatic injuries. 

• Repetitive Use Injuries: Caused by repeated tasks that strain specific muscles or joints over time, repetitive use injury can affect factory workers, cashiers, or construction personnel. Carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis are examples of common repetitive use injuries. Many repetitive hand and wrist movements over time can lead to tennis elbow or golfers elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis and medial epicondylitis, respectively. Repetitive use injuries are most common in factory-type work when performing the same task over and over throughout the day.

• Overexertion Injuries: Lifting heavy objects, pushing or pulling with excessive force, or prolonged awkward postures can lead to overexertion injuries like muscle strains or tears.

 

Conservative Treatment Options for Work Injury Recovery

At Marks Chiropractic, we offer a personalized, drug-free approach to work injury management, focusing on pain relief, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing. Here's what we can offer:

• Soft tissue therapy: Techniques like massage or trigger point therapy can relax tight muscles, improve blood flow, and promote healing in the injured area.

• Therapeutic exercise: Specific exercises designed to strengthen and stabilize injured areas can improve function and prevent future injuries.

• Ultrasound therapy: This treatment uses sound waves to reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing, accelerating recovery times.

• Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS): EMS can help reduce pain and muscle spasms, promote healing, and improve muscle strength.

• Laser Therapy: Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or High Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) are services we offer to help speed up the healing process, decrease pain, decrease inflammation, and improve blood flow to the affected area
