At Depretis Chiropractic and Total Wellness, we evaluate and treat a wide range of work related injuries by identifying the underlying cause of symptoms and developing individualized treatment plans designed to improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore function.
Whether your injury occurred suddenly or developed gradually over months or years, understanding why the problem exists is the first step toward recovery.

How We Evaluate Work Injuries
Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation before treatment recommendations are made.
Depending on your symptoms, this may include:
- •Health history review
- •Orthopedic testing
- •Neurological assessment
- •Range of motion evaluation
- •Functional movement assessment
- •Postural evaluation
- •Digital X-rays when clinically appropriate
The goal is to identify the source of the injury and determine how it is affecting your ability to work and perform daily activities.
How We Treat Work Injuries
Treatment recommendations are based on the individual's condition, job demands, and recovery goals.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Work injuries often create restrictions affecting the spine and extremity joints. Chiropractic adjustments may be incorporated into treatment plans to improve mobility, restore motion, and reduce mechanical stress affecting injured areas.
Treatment may include manual adjustments, Activator®, or ArthroStim® techniques depending on the patient's needs.
Physiotherapy Treatments
Depending on the condition being treated, physiotherapies may include:
- ✓Electric muscle stimulation
- ✓Cervical decompression
- ✓Lumbar decompression
- ✓Flexion distraction therapy
These treatments may help support recovery while improving mobility and function.
Rehabilitation and Movement Recommendations
Recovery often requires more than passive treatment alone.
Depending on the injury, recommendations may include:
- •Mobility exercises
- •Strengthening exercises
- •Stretching routines
- •Postural recommendations
- •Ergonomic modifications
- •Activity modifications
The goal is to help patients recover while reducing the likelihood of future workplace injuries.
Work Injuries and Physical Function

Improving mobility, strength, movement quality, and overall function can often play an important role in both recovery and injury prevention.
Our focus is helping patients return to work feeling more capable and confident in their ability to perform their job duties.
