Work Injury Lynnwood, WA
Work shouldn’t leave you hurting. Yet repetitive motions, heavy lifting, long hours on your feet, and desk work can all lead to pain that follows you home — stiff backs, tight shoulders, pinched nerves, and headaches that make it hard to focus or sleep.
At Alderwood Back & Neck Pain Clinic, Dr. Darcy Szigety, DC helps with common workplace-related conditions like muscle strains, joint irritation, sciatica, carpal tunnel–type symptoms, and neck pain from poor posture or screen time. The goal is to calm irritation, restore movement, and help your body handle the physical demands of your job.
If you’re dealing with a work injury, this page explains how chiropractic care can support healing, protect mobility, and help you stay active at work and at home.
What Are Work Injuries?
What Causes Work Injuries?
You might get injured while on the job by lifting something heavy, twisting improperly, using repetitive movements, falling down, or bumping into something. You may experience injuries or chronic pain from driving for long periods or sitting at a computer without taking many breaks.
How Are Work Injuries Diagnosed?
To diagnose the type and severity of a work-related injury, your chiropractor reviews your medical history and examines you. They may have you complete a series of movements and ask questions about your pain. Your provider may use diagnostic imaging procedures like X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans to determine the severity of an injury and develop a treatment plan that’s right for you.
