Conditions
Workplace and Lifting Injuries
How Q Factor evaluates and treats this after a collision, fall, or workplace injury.
Quick answer
What is it?
Lifting, twisting, and repetitive strain at work cause the same spine and joint injuries as a collision, without the impact. Q Factor evaluates and treats these in the unit, in the office, or through a corporate wellness visit.
Understanding the injury
What to expect.
Symptoms from this type of injury can begin at the scene or show up days later. Evaluation comes before any hands on care.
Common patterns
Low back strain from lifting, neck and shoulder strain from desk work, knee and ankle strain from standing shifts.
How we evaluate
Examination, a look at the movement that caused it, and imaging when indicated.
What care looks like
Adjustments, rehabilitation, and a return to work plan. Corporate visits can catch these before they become injuries.
Care may include
- Examination
- Digital x ray when indicated
- Adjustments
- Rehabilitation, in office or telehealth
- Referral to other qualified medical providers when medically necessary
