Work-related injuries most often affect the back and neck. Industrial accident can cause people to endure considerable physical, financial and emotional hardship.

People who wait to be seen by medical professionals often have lengthier recoveries. For more than twenty years, this SE Portland chiropractor has helped patients gain considerable relief from injuries that they have sustained while on the job.

Sometimes, an injury is severe enough that an employee needs to take time off from work. The SE Portland chiropractor communicates with employers to explain why and for how long respite is needed. The practitioner is also knowledgeable in navigating Workman's Compensation forms and related claims.

When patients arrive for an appointment, care providers will conduct a thorough exam, using advanced digital-imaging technologies if needed. They will also explain the results of the exam and address patients' concerns. When the underlying causes of pain are identified, chiropractors engage patients in three phases of care.

The first step is known as relief care which is intended to promote pain relief. Patients will have a set number of appointments according to how much pain they are in.

The second phase in this type of care is corrective and rehabilitative. The second phases may last as long as two years or it could span just six months, with patients visiting their providers' offices between four and eight times each month.

Step three, wellness care, begins when the body has completely healed. Patients undergo periodic adjustments to prevent future injuries.

Chiropractors recognize and understand just how important it is for them to collaborate with the other medical professionals that people are working with in order to promote optimal healing and health. As such, they communicate with their patients regularly doctors as necessary.
