Work-related injuries often develop gradually from repetitive movements, awkward postures, prolonged sitting or standing, or heavy lifting performed day after day. Desk workers commonly experience neck, shoulder, and wrist pain from extended computer use, while those in manual labor jobs often deal with lower back, shoulder, and knee strain from lifting and repetitive tasks.
Dr. Verg evaluates how your specific job demands may be contributing to your pain, looking at posture, repetitive movement patterns, and areas of joint restriction or muscle imbalance. Treatment typically includes adjustments to address joint restrictions in the spine and extremities, soft-tissue therapy to relieve muscle tension from repetitive strain, and a rehabilitation program with exercises and ergonomic recommendations designed to reduce strain during your workday and support long-term recovery.
