Causes of Work Injuries in Knoxville

Work injuries can occur from operating machinery, falling, improper lifting and repetitive motions that cause wear and tear in certain joints. These injuries often occur when you tear or damage muscles, ligaments, tendons or nerves in your joints. You might also end up with damage to one or more spinal discs in your back. It’s crucial for these injuries to properly heal in order to prevent them from becoming severe and resulting in chronic pain.

Keep in mind that you might not realize the extent of your work injury at first. Our chiropractor will let you know how much damage there is and make sure you receive quality treatment for it. Even work-related injuries that seem minor at first can end up causing serious pain when they are not able to properly fully heal. 

Treatment from Our Work Injury Chiropractor

At West Knoxville Medical and Chiropractic, our work injury chiropractor, Dr. Nathan Leavitt, helps you find the relief you need in order to get back to work and resume your normal activities. Dr. Leavitt will evaluate your work injury to determine the cause and assess how severe it is.

Depending on this information, you might need spinal adjustments or other types of chiropractic care for your injury. Spinal adjustments are done to realign your spine if you have experienced disc damage or other injuries that affect this part of your body. Correcting misalignments leads to pain relief by relieving tension or pressure on nerves and allowing your body to heal on its own.
