About 3 million Americans sustain a work-related injury each year, with approximately 25 percent of those injuries affecting the back. Work-related injuries include any physical damage or condition that occurs while performing tasks on the job.
These can range from sudden accidents—like a fall or heavy lifting incident—to injuries that develop over time due to repetitive motion or poor posture. Injuries affecting the back, neck, or spine can make even basic daily movements difficult. Left untreated, these conditions can worsen, leading to chronic pain or long-term loss of function. That’s why timely diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan are so important. At The Institute for Comprehensive Spine Care, we’re here to help you navigate recovery and return to your routine with strength and confidence.
