When you're trying to support your family, take care of your home, and pay all of your bills on time, every day at your work counts. Work injuries can be a large problem for many folks, and we see many of these types of injuries in our Yakima office. Dr. Covington understands your situation and is here to support you.
The advantages of chiropractic care for work injuries are well-established. A 2013 research paper involving over 600 adults who were troubled with either back or neck pain found that the individuals who didn't see a chiropractor missed work at twice the rate of those who were seeing a chiropractor.
According to the participants in this report, two of the primary reasons were that they thought they needed a medical referral for chiropractic care (which is typically no longer true) and they overestimated the costs associated with chiropractic treatment sessions by almost 70 percent.
The reality is, chiropractic patients actually spend less on care than medical patients, plus they are less likely to use drugs for their symptoms.
If you live in Yakima and you've been injured at work, we can help. Give our office a call today at (509) 895-7535 for an appointment.
