Chiropractic Care for Work Injuries

Work injuries range from a single lifting strain to pain that builds over months of repetitive motion, long drives, or hours at a desk. Either way, the goal is the same: reduce pain, restore function, and get you back to your job without re-injury.

Chiropractic care is a conservative, drug-free option for many common work injuries, including low back strain, neck pain, shoulder problems, and sciatica. Dr. Demsky combines adjustments with therapies and a tailored home exercise program so progress continues between visits.

Demsky Chiropractic bills Workers’ Compensation claims directly. Once your claim is open, treatment can begin without out-of-pocket cost to you.

Our Approach

How We Evaluate Work Injuries

Your first visit starts with a detailed history of the injury and your job demands, followed by a physical exam with orthopedic, neurological, and range-of-motion testing. Most work injuries can be evaluated and treated without imaging.

If your symptoms, exam findings, or response to care suggest something that needs a closer look, Dr. Demsky will recommend imaging or refer you to the appropriate physician or specialist.

Seek immediate medical attention (call 911 or go to the ER) for loss of bladder or bowel control, progressive weakness or numbness in the arms or legs, a suspected fracture, or an injury from a significant fall or impact. These can indicate an emergency that chiropractic care is not appropriate for.
