Work Injuries

A work injury can happen in a single moment, like a lift that goes wrong or a slip on a wet floor, or it can build slowly from repetitive tasks, long hours at a desk, or heavy physical work. Either way, pain that follows you home from your job deserves attention.

At Good Neighbor Chiropractic of WNY in Clarence, Dr. Julie Gross, DC, MSACN helps people from across Western New York understand what is driving their pain and build a personalized plan to move comfortably again.

Common Signs of a Work Injury

  • Low back, neck, or shoulder pain that started at work

  • Stiffness or soreness that builds toward the end of a shift

  • Pain that travels into an arm, hand, or leg

  • Tingling or numbness after lifting or repetitive tasks

  • Muscle spasms or tightness that limit your movement

  • Headaches after a work incident or long hours of strain

Common Causes

Work injuries come from many different situations, including:

  • Lifting, pulling, or carrying heavy items

  • Repetitive motions or awkward positions

  • Long hours of sitting or a poorly set up workstation

  • Slips, trips, and falls on the job

  • Driving or operating equipment for long stretches

Some injuries show up right away, while others take days or weeks to appear, so it is worth having new or lingering pain evaluated.

How Chiropractic Care Helps

Chiropractic care focuses on how your spine, joints, and muscles are moving and on easing the strain your body is under. Your visit may include:

  • A thorough history and exam to understand how your injury happened

  • Gentle chiropractic adjustments

  • Soft-tissue work to calm tight, overworked muscles

  • Movement, posture, and workstation guidance to protect you on the job

  • A personalized care plan based on your symptoms and goals

If your injury needs care beyond chiropractic, we will talk it through with you and help you find the right next step.

Workers’ Compensation Care

Good Neighbor Chiropractic of WNY accepts New York State Workers’ Compensation for qualifying work injuries. If you were hurt on the job, Dr. Gross can see you, and we help with the workers’ compensation paperwork for your visits so you can focus on getting better.

To make your first visit smooth, please bring what you have of the following:

  • Your workers’ compensation claim number

  • The date of your injury and a short description of what happened

  • Your employer’s name and contact information

  • The insurance carrier’s name and your adjuster’s contact information, if you have it

  • Any claim paperwork you have received, plus imaging or records from other providers
