An alarming number of workplace accidents cause bodily harm. Employers are liable for medical care related to accidents on the job. Dr. Scott Solomon, a Horsham chiropractor, speeds-up healing time and pain relief for the employee and concurrently saves the employer money for workman's comp claims.

Training, personal protective equipment, and preventative measures could preempt a majority of job related injuries. Frequent falls are a widespread cause of accidents. Adequate lighting and good housekeeping could likely avert accidental tripping, falling or slipping from objects on floors.

Falling from high places, like ladders or roofs, often end in serious back, neck or head injury. Dr. Solomon and the staff at The Wellness Studio are extensively trained in state-of-the-art procedures and sophisticated equipment to evaluate the employee's immediate and ongoing health care needs.

Recent statistics support that strains and/or sprains are responsible for 41% of accidents at work that led to workdays missed. It was determined that the leading causes were falls or overexertion. Musculoskeletal ailments created 30% of time off work. Chiropractic care is now considered a first-line treatment for spinal related abnormalities.

Approximately one-third of workers compensation claims are attributed on-the-job stress factors, which culminate in accidents at the workplace. Dr. Scott Solomon, a Horsham Chiropractor provides total body care for employees hurt on the job, including injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome from repetitive work duties. Dr. Solomon and his staff at the Wellness Studio are trained holistic practitioners whose treatments encourage correct spinal alignment necessary to restore the body's vital force.

Causative factors such as stress, injuries and damage resulting from repetitive job duties impede the body's natural healing progression and ultimately joints stiffen, inflammation sets-in and/or misalignment occurs. By employing gentle hands-on manipulation when workplace accidents create pain, spasms, numbness or damaged nerves, the chiropractor assists the body in restoring healing energy to the central nervous system.

Chiropractic care involves every aspect of life. The chiropractor will assess the person's on-the-job stress factors, nutritional deficiencies and exercise, and consult with the injured worker concerning suggested life style changes.

Since Americans are working longer hours to compensate for fewer employees due to cutbacks, on-the-job accidents have become more prevalent. Injured employees are entitled to proper care through Workers Compensation. The Wellness Studio is willing to provide all of the information needed about job related treatments.
