Work Injury
Most workplace injuries are not accidents. They come from repetition and sustained tension, and they build up over months or years.
At a glance
- The real cause
- Not major accidents - repetitive movement and sustained tension account for the large majority of workplace injuries.
- How it develops
- Small tasks performed with poor posture, day after day, produce problems that surface over months or even years.
- Why timing matters
- Repetitive strain injuries worsen the longer they are left. Treated early, recovery is quicker and surgery more avoidable.
Most people are surprised to learn that significant accidents do not account for the vast majority of occupational injuries in Burton-on-Trent and Derby. The great majority actually result from tension and repetitive motion.
Repetitive stress is the most frequent risk factor of all. When small tasks are performed with poor posture on a regular basis, problems develop over the course of months or even years. Constant typing while sitting incorrectly, and twisting and turning while carrying boxes and other large objects, are among the most prevalent.
The result is misalignment of the spine and joints, which in time will cause pain and injury. Misaligned joints can expand, aggravating nearby nerves and producing a range of further problems.
What Happens When You Come In
No GP referral, no obligation, and care built around what matters to you.
Book Directly
You do not need a referral from your GP. Chiropractic is a primary healthcare profession in the UK, so you can come straight to us - including evening and Saturday appointments.
Your First Consultation
We take your full medical history and examine you properly. Nothing is assumed from the spot that hurts, because the place you feel pain is rarely the place it starts.
A Diagnosis in Plain English
We explain what we have found and what is causing it, then recommend the most appropriate course of care for your symptoms, lifestyle and goals.
Can We Help?
Chiropractors have traditionally had extremely high success rates in relieving the pain of work-related injuries. Lower back discomfort and repetitive strain injuries are among the issues we deal with most often.
The value of getting the right treatment early cannot be overstated. Repetitive strain injuries get worse the longer they are left, and if they are allowed to progress far enough, surgery may be needed to correct what has developed. Seeing a chiropractor and getting physical therapy may make surgery or painkiller prescriptions avoidable entirely.
One of our experienced chiropractors can evaluate your condition and tell you what recovery is likely to involve, including an estimated time frame and the exercises that will help.
Questions we get asked
How long will it take for me to recover?
Recovery timelines vary depending on a number of factors. We take the time to understand your symptoms, lifestyle and goals before recommending the most appropriate course of care.
Is chiropractic treatment ongoing?
We encourage maintenance visits to prevent problems recurring, and use postural advice and rehabilitation programmes as self-care tools.
Can I be referred to a chiropractor on the NHS?
Unfortunately, in our local area, chiropractic care is not available through the NHS.
