How Physiotherapy Can Help You Recover From Work Injuries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Physiotherapy is an invaluable resource when recovering from work-related injuries. Let’s help restore function and mobility, promote healing, reduce pain, and help prevent future injuries. At Evidence Sport and Spine, our dedicated team is committed to helping you return to your daily routine safely and quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workplace injuries can occur in all types of occupations, from office jobs to construction sites. Common injuries include strains, sprains, repetitive stress injuries, back injuries, and fractures. Accidents involving machinery or falls can also lead to more severe trauma, like spinal cord or head injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symptoms and conditions resulting from work-related injuries can vary widely. They can range from mild discomfort to severe pain and loss of function. Common symptoms include swelling, bruising, stiffness, decreased range of motion, and difficulty performing normal work tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Canadian Labour Market, there are nearly three million non-fatal workplace injuries each year. Our physiotherapists play a crucial role in treating these individuals, helping them regain strength, mobility, function and confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use a variety of techniques, including exercises to improve strength and flexibility, manual therapy, education about ergonomics, and pain management strategies. Moreover, our highly skilled practitioners<\/a> can also play a significant role in preventing future injuries by teaching correct body mechanics and postural awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our therapists take a patient-centric approach that focuses on the individual’s unique needs. We’re committed to your recovery and helping you get back to work sooner than later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to expect at Evidence Sport and Spine to help you recover from work-related injuries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Evidence Sport and Spine, we understand that work-related injuries can be a major hurdle, impacting your professional and personal life. Starting with a comprehensive evaluation, our therapists will meticulously review your medical history. This critical step allows us to understand any pre-existing conditions or prior injuries that may influence your treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our team will evaluate your range of motion and strength to assess your current status. By measuring your ability to move joints in different directions and testing your muscle strength, we can pinpoint any limitations or imbalances contributing to your discomfort or impairing your ability to perform certain tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, we may employ specialized testing and functional movement screens in all of our Calgary clinics. These assessments help us understand how your body moves as a whole, identifying any compensatory patterns or deficiencies that could affect your recovery. It’s like a puzzle, and every piece of information brings us closer to completing the picture of your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have extensive experience with a wide range of different workers, from Calgary police officers<\/a> to Alberta Ballet dancers. We have worked with both organizations to reduce the number of workers compensation board claims and to facilitate better communication within these groups. We can do this for you too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Evidence Sport and Spine, we are proud to take an evidence-based approach to treating injuries sustained at work. This means we use methods that have been rigorously tested and proven effective in peer-reviewed research studies. Our therapists use a variety of treatments<\/a> depending on your specific needs, including the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
