Your Work Injury Recovery Assessment
Detailed Injury Evaluation (60 minutes): Dr. Harder will document the specifics of your workplace injury, examine the affected areas, and assess how the injury is impacting your ability to perform job duties. He’ll also evaluate your work environment and daily tasks to identify contributing factors.
Functional Movement Testing: Dr. Harder discusses with you exactly how the injury affects your job performance and what movements need to be restored for safe return to work.
Recovery-Focused Treatment Plan: Your treatment approach is designed around your work demands and recovery timeline, typically starting with 3-4 visits per week to accelerate healing, then transitioning to maintenance care as you return to full duties.
Workplace Injury Recovery Through Targeted Chiropractic Care
Work injuries often involve complex combinations of acute trauma and underlying wear patterns from repetitive job demands. Your body may have been compensating for workplace stresses long before the actual injury occurred.
Effective treatment requires addressing both the immediate injury and the workplace biomechanics that made you vulnerable to injury in the first place. This includes correcting movement patterns, strengthening weak areas, and improving your body’s ability to handle job-specific demands.
Dr. Harder’s approach focuses on complete functional recovery, ensuring you can return to work with confidence and reduced risk of re-injury.
