At Holistic Health & Chiropractic of Frankfort, we specialize in providing expert chiropractic care for work-related injuries, including back pain, shoulder pain, and other musculoskeletal issues. Our primary goal is to ensure proper alignment and balance within the body (musculoskeletal system) and to restore alignment when joints become misaligned, restricted, or stuck.
Workers Compensation
When an injury at work happens, usually, the company that employs the worker will open a workers compensation case and have the employee evaluated by their (the company’s) doctor. The employee is obligated to see that physician.
Here’s where it can get tricky. It’s not unusual for the company doctor to be biased towards the company’s interests. Meaning that, the doctor will frequently downplay the work injury or sometimes, not acknowledge it at all.
Leaving the worker hurt and confused as to what their options may be. However, in the State of Illinois, a worker has the right to seek the advice and help of a doctor of their own choosing. In many instances, one of those doctors should be a chiropractor.
Common Work Injuries
Most of these injuries respond well to chiropractic care. Some of the common injuries we treat include:
- Whiplash
- Shoulder pain
- Back pain
- Headaches
- Neck pain
- Strains and sprains
- Soft tissue injuries
- Herniated discs and spinal cord injuries
Treatment from a Workers Comp Chiropractor
Unlike other physicians, chiropractic care doesn't use drugs or surgery. It's also safe for all ages and effective for treating various work injuries. Chiropractors treat the root source of the pain rather than mask the symptoms. Some of the treatment options we use for work injuries include:
- Chiropractic adjustments and spinal manipulation
- Acupuncture
- Physical therapy
- Spinal decompression
- Corrective exercises
- Nutritional and lifestyle counseling
When you visit our chiropractic clinic, we will ask you a few questions to help you get proper treatment. We may want to know how the accident occurred. For example, we may ask the position you were in during the accident, whether you were hit or hit something. Furthermore, we will want to know if you have any underlying conditions or are taking any medication. We will also perform a physical examination and, if necessary, request x-ray imaging, MRI, or CT scans. After a proper diagnosis, Dr. Heyer will create a treatment plan that meets your unique needs.

The Benefits of Visiting a Workers Comp Chiropractor
The goal of treatment is to return you to pre-injury status as soon as possible. This really depends on the severity of the injury and/or how long you wait between the accident and seeking help. This is why it’s important to call us as soon as possible after your work injury so we can determine the right course and we will use every tool in our tool kit to help you feel better and get you well. Undergoing chiropractic manipulation puts your body back into its natural alignment so you can move freely, and functional medicine supports the body's healing process. A chiropractor can combine the use of nutritional supplements, and acupuncture, and show you how to move correctly to avoid further complications.

As soon as possible. After an accident, you might decide to ignore the pain at that time. That should not be the case. The primary reason for this is that you may have hidden injuries that you might not be aware of, which could appear later in life and cause complications.
