Work Injury Treatment in Pompano Beach
Pain, stiffness, or reduced movement can interfere with daily activities, sleep, and long-term health. Some work injuries happen suddenly due to an accident, while others develop gradually from repetitive tasks or prolonged postures.
Dr. Michael Cohen and the team at Graceful Pompano Beach Chiropractic have worked with many patients in Pompano Beach dealing with job-related injuries across a wide range of roles, from physically demanding work to desk-based positions. Care focuses on understanding how the injury happened, how it is affecting the body, and how to support recovery in a way that is safe, practical, and realistic for your work demands.
Symptoms of Work-Related Injuries
Work injuries can present differently depending on the type of job, physical demands, and how the injury developed. As Dr. Cohen often explains, the goal is to “identify the root cause of stress on the nervous system so the body can heal and function better.” Your first visit centers on listening, careful evaluation, and clearly explaining your options so you know exactly what the next steps look like.
Acute Pain After a Workplace Accident
- Sudden pain following a specific incident that may feel sharp or intense right away.
- Limited or painful movement that makes work tasks or daily activities harder.
- Muscle tightness or spasms as the body reacts to injury or instability.
- Pain that worsens with activity or certain motions, especially lifting or twisting.
Chronic Pain from Repetitive Job Tasks
- Ongoing stiffness or soreness that builds gradually over time.
- Pain that increases during the workday as tissues are repeatedly stressed.
- Reduced range of motion that makes movement feel restricted or guarded.
- Fatigue or weakness in affected areas from prolonged strain.
Early evaluation can help prevent these symptoms from becoming long-term or recurring.
How Work Injuries Are Diagnosed
Diagnosis begins with a thorough evaluation at Graceful Pompano Beach Chiropractic, focusing on both the injury itself and the work activities that contributed to it.
Physical Examination and Injury Assessment
- Review of job duties and injury history to understand daily physical stressors.
- Postural and movement analysis to identify imbalance or compensation patterns.
- Joint and muscle evaluation to assess restriction, tension, or irritation.
- Neurological screening when needed to evaluate nerve involvement.
X-Rays and Diagnostic Imaging
- Imaging may be recommended to assess joint alignment or structural changes.
- Not every work injury requires imaging, and recommendations are made carefully.
Dr. Cohen explains findings clearly so you understand the cause of your symptoms and the appropriate next steps.

Work Injury Treatment FAQs
What Is Work Injury Treatment?
Work injury treatment focuses on addressing injuries or conditions that develop as a result of job-related activities. These may involve the spine, joints, muscles, or nerves and can result from sudden accidents or repetitive stress over time.
The goal of treatment is to reduce pain, restore movement, and help you return to work safely while supporting long-term physical function.
Common Types of Work-Related Injuries
Back and Neck Injuries
These often occur from lifting, bending, twisting, or prolonged sitting or standing. They may involve muscle strain, joint restriction, or nerve irritation.
Repetitive Strain and Overuse Injuries
Jobs that require repeated movements can lead to gradual stress on muscles, joints, and nerves, commonly affecting the shoulders, wrists, and spine.
Slip, Trip, and Fall Injuries
Falls at work can cause sudden impact injuries, joint misalignment, or soft tissue damage, even if symptoms appear mild at first.
Lifting and Overexertion Injuries
Improper lifting or excessive physical demand can strain the back, shoulders, hips, or knees, leading to acute or lingering pain.
Chiropractic Techniques Used for Work Injury Treatment
Treatment methods are selected based on exam findings and comfort level and may include:
- Spinal adjustments and joint mobilization to improve movement and alignment.
- Soft tissue therapy to address muscle tension and strain.
- Corrective and workplace ergonomic exercises to reduce repeat injury risk.
Work Injury Treatment for Office Workers
Office workers commonly experience neck pain, back pain, and repetitive strain injuries due to prolonged sitting and screen use. Care focuses on improving posture, restoring mobility, and addressing movement patterns that contribute to daily strain.
Causes of Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries may develop from:
Repetitive motions, poor ergonomics or workstation setup, sudden accidents or falls, lifting, pushing, or pulling beyond tolerance, and prolonged static postures.
Identifying the cause helps guide effective care and prevention.
Can Chiropractic Care Help with Work Injuries?
