Work-related injuries can occur from lifting, repetitive strain, prolonged standing, awkward movements, slips, or sudden overexertion. Common symptoms include back pain, neck pain, shoulder strain, and other musculoskeletal limitations that affect job performance and daily function.

At Valley Physical Medicine, we provide conservative evaluation and care for work-related musculoskeletal injuries. Treatment recommendations are individualized and may include chiropractic care, supportive therapies, rehabilitation strategies, and imaging when clinically appropriate.
