Have You Been Injured At Work?

SLIP & FALL

Slip & fall is a form of insurance that replaces lost wages and pays for medical and chiropractic care for people injured on the job. It typically covers a number of injuries that can happen to nearly any worker. These injuries may occur as a result of a slip and fall accident, tripping over a hazard or on an unsafe surface, or falling off a ladder. For some workers, slip & fall will cover injuries that happen while the worker is driving or traveling as part of his or her work duties.

Many neck and back problems associated with slip & fall are the result of spinal misalignment, which means that the bones of the spine have moved out of position. Other work-related neck and back problems are the result of soft tissue injuries, such as whiplash, affect the muscles, nerves and connective tissue of the neck and back.

Musculoskeletal disorders affect a person’s muscles, bones, joints and connective tissue, such as tendons and ligaments.

A number of musculoskeletal disorders can keep a worker off the job, including:

• Sprains, strains, and tears
• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress injuries
• Headaches and migraines

Chiropractic care focuses on the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders and other illnesses and injuries, making it an effective long-term solution for many workers injured on the job.
