Poor posture is common and so is the neck pain that results. By hunching over or holding your head too far forward at your desk, you can experience lasting pain and fatigue, as well as other wellness issues.
Injuries at work can happen quickly, like in the case of a slip-and-fall, or they can build slowly over time with overexertion or repetitive stress to joints or muscles. Fortunately, this can be successfully treated with chiropractic care.
Here at Pro Rehab Chiropractic and Rehabilitation, our highly skilled teams provide patient-centered care in our 10 offices conveniently located throughout Delaware. Using state-of-the-art rehabilitation technologies, we treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including spine and neck problems and joint disorders.

Also known as an occupational injury, a workplace injury can result from a variety of things. Falling due to slipping or tripping is common and accounts for 20 to 40% of disabling injuries in the workplace. Other problems can develop over time from overusing the hands and wrists and/or having to engage in forceful, repetitive gripping movements. Heavy lifting can also lead to injury.
Most of the time, injuries to the musculoskeletal system involve the back, neck, shoulders, arms, and legs. Headaches, bursitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome can also occur.
Injuries can happen in any workplace, but professions at higher risk include police officers and firefighters, construction workers, maintenance workers, and those working in transportation and manufacturing.
Experts in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions, chiropractors focus on the underlying cause of your pain, rather than prescribing medication to mask it. Using manual techniques, the chiropractor gently moves your vertebrae into correct alignment in order to relieve pressure, lessen pain, and improve your range of motion.
At your first appointment, we take a detailed health history, including specifics about your workplace injury. Then, we perform a physical exam to diagnose the underlying reason for your pain and develop a treatment plan.
Chiropractic adjustments are often made to the spine and neck but can also be performed on any joint necessary, including the shoulder, elbow, and more.
Treatment may involve adjustments made by hand as well as with the PulStar ® system. This state-of-the-art technology employs gentle impulses to your spine and displays your body's response on a screen, revealing the problem areas. Using this information, your doctor then provides gentle pressure to the exact trouble spots for maximum results.
