trouble that often results. But how? Novelli Wellness Center works with individual
Orchard Park, NY workers and is more than ready to work with a
Orchard Park, NY company to develop a program to avoid work-related injuries.

the developed countries use computers on a daily basis. (1)
Questions

- how can we curtail or eliminate work related back
injuries?

injuries be cared for so they don’t become chronic?

put in place to reduce incidence, cost and productivity loss?
All are great
questions that the Orchard Park, NY chiropractor is ready to tackle.
Plan
Novelli Wellness Center can help local companies identify potential
and actual back pain and extremity pain employees for preventive care.
Novelli Wellness Center can help reduce occupational conditions that contribute to back
pain by developing alternative conditions for the company to initiate.
Novelli Wellness Center can offer training to Orchard Park, NY employees on specific
conditions of the spine and how to prevent exacerbating pain in them. And maybe
most importantly, Novelli Wellness Center works
with the injured employee to return to work a confident employee who knows how to best
care for his or her spine and not fear its re-injury. That’s employee
appreciation on the Orchard Park, NY company’s part.
Details of the Plan
Novelli Wellness Center looks for early signs and symptoms of
musculoskeletal pain like general tension to prevent future pain. (2) Joint
angles – knee, ankle, lumbar spine, hip - required to lift maximum weight and
not injure a spine can be analyzed in the work environment and adapted as
needed. (3) Orchard Park, NY at-risk of re-injury workers may even be
identified despite their seeming readiness to return to work by their muscle responses. Low back injury patients tend
to use their thoracic spine more. (4) Sometimes occupational injury may be related
to something as simple as the clothing and equipment employees use (5) or
having a support group for workers in pain to turn to onsite. (6) Now that can be addressed pretty easily. It may just
take an outsider to come in with “new eyes” and see something that can help.
Reality and Help
Occupational low back pain is the most expensive form of
work disability in terms of actual financial costs as well as social costs and
productivity costs. Persistent low back pain is particularly expensive in
relation to acute and subacute low back pain. (6) In Orchard Park, NY,
chiropractic influence and care at Novelli Wellness Center benefits both the employer
and the employee. Work-related back pain need not frustrate either.
