Common Workplace Injuries

Work injuries are not limited to dramatic accidents. Many develop gradually from repetitive strain, poor ergonomics, or heavy lifting. At The Holistic Health Center of Peoria, Dr. Lackner helps patients recover from a wide range of workplace injuries.

Types of Work Injuries Chiropractic May Help

  • Lifting injuries: Lower back strains, disc injuries, and spinal subluxations
  • Repetitive strain: Carpal tunnel, tendonitis, and overuse injuries
  • Slip and fall: Whiplash, back injuries, and joint sprains
  • Postural strain: Neck and back pain from desk work and prolonged sitting
  • Equipment injuries: Strain from operating machinery or tools

How Gonstead Care Supports Recovery

  1. Thorough evaluation: A myoVision scan and motion palpation identify spinal and joint dysfunction.
  2. Gentle adjustments: Gonstead corrections restore normal joint motion and reduce nerve pressure.
  3. Progressive care: A plan that starts gently and progresses as you heal.
  4. Return-to-work guidance: Posture, ergonomics, and movement tips to prevent re-injury.

Workers' Comp Documentation

Dr. Lackner provides the documentation your workers' comp claim requires, including:

  • Detailed injury reports
  • Treatment plans and progress notes
  • Functional capacity assessments
  • Return-to-work recommendations

When to Seek Emergency Care

Seek immediate medical attention for severe injuries, fractures, head injuries, or any injury with severe pain, numbness, or inability to move. For musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, chiropractic care is an effective option.
