When you're trying to sustain your family, take care of your home, and pay all of your bills on time, every day at your work counts. Work injuries can be a serious problem for many folks, and we see many of these types of injuries in our Portland office. Dr. Helton understands your situation and is here to support you.
The benefits of chiropractic adjustments for work injuries are well-established. A 2013 research paper involving 651 adults who were troubled with either back or neck pain found that the men and women who didn't see a chiropractor missed work at twice the rate of those who were seeing a chiropractor.
According to the respondents in this paper, two of the primary reasons were that they thought they needed a referral for chiropractic care (which is typically no longer true) and they overestimated the costs associated with chiropractic adjustments sessions by almost 70 percent.
The truth is, chiropractic patients actually spend less on care than medical patients, plus they are less likely to use drugs for their symptoms.
If you live in Portland and you've been injured at work, we can help. Give our office a call today at (503) 771-1974 for an appointment.
