    Get evaluated, treated, and back to work safely after an injury.

    No referral needed. We work with workers’ compensation cases.

    Work Injuries Can Happen Fast—or Build Over Time

    Some work injuries happen in a moment. A bad lift, a slip, a sudden movement—and something doesn’t feel right.

    Others build slowly. Long hours, repetitive tasks, poor posture, and physical stress start to add up until your body finally says enough.

    Around Stillwater, we see both. Whether your injury just happened or has been building for months, the key is figuring out what’s actually causing the pain so it can be treated the right way.

    Common Work Injury Symptoms

    Work-related injuries can affect different parts of the body depending on the job and type of stress involved.

    Low Back Pain

    From lifting, bending, or prolonged standing

    Neck and Shoulder Pain

    Often from posture or repetitive tasks

    Muscle Tightness or Spasms

    Involuntary contractions indicating strain

    Joint Stiffness

    Reduced mobility in the spine or extremities

    Numbness or Tingling

    Possible nerve irritation

    Pain During Work

    Pain That Gets Worse During Work Activities

    If your symptoms are tied to your job or getting worse during the day, it’s a sign something needs to be addressed.

    What Causes Work Injuries?

    Work injuries are usually the result of physical stress exceeding what the body can handle.

    Many injuries aren’t just one event—they’re the result of patterns that build up over time.

    Common causes include:

    • Improper lifting or repetitive lifting
    • Repetitive motion injuries
    • Prolonged sitting or poor ergonomics
    • Slips, trips, and falls
    • Overuse without proper recovery
    • Heavy labor or physically demanding work
    • Awkward or sustained positions

    How Chiropractic Care Helps Work Injury Treatment

    Work injury treatment focuses on reducing pain, restoring movement, and helping your body recover so you can safely return to work.

    At My Health Solution, we build your care plan around your specific job demands and injury.

    Spinal & Joint Adjustments

    Restore motion in the spine and joints to reduce stiffness and improve function.

    Muscle & Soft Tissue Work

    Reduce tension and help injured muscles recover properly.

    Movement & Rehab Support

    Guided exercises to rebuild strength and prevent reinjury.

    The goal is not just getting you out of pain—it’s helping you handle the physical demands of your job again.

    Workers’ Compensation and Work Injury Care

    If your injury happened at work, you may be covered under workers’ compensation.

    We help guide that process by:

    • Documenting your injury and symptoms
    • Tracking your progress during care
    • Coordinating when needed for your case
    • Keeping your care focused on recovery and function

    You don’t need to figure everything out before coming in. We’ll help you understand your options.

    When to Get Checked After a Work Injury

    A lot of people try to “push through” a work injury. That usually backfires.

    Getting evaluated early can help:

    • Prevent the injury from getting worse
    • Reduce recovery time
    • Avoid long-term problems
    • Keep documentation clear if needed for work or insurance

    If something doesn’t feel right, it’s better to get it checked than wait.
