| Repetitive use injuries like carpal tunnel
syndrome and tendonitis can be very adequately managed in a chiropractic
office. Treatment often includes: • Rest • Bracing • Ice • Joint manipulation • Exercise • Physical therapy • Supplement therapy • Rehabilitation • Referral to another physician if the patient is not responding to conservative care. Given that drugs and surgery remains the main cost drivers in the worker's compensation systems across the country, it would behoove employers, both large and small to establish relationships with Doctors of Chiropractic. In fact, employers across the nation are re-thinking the wisdom of relying on traditional medicine and physical therapy for treatment of repetitive use injury. The all-inclusive nature of Chiropractic management can be much less expensive than the ala-carte methodology of traditional drug treatment and physical therapy. At times, more difficult cases do necessitate a multidisciplinary approach to alleviate the pain caused by repetitive use trauma. |
