Workplace Injury Treatment Near Me in Dallas

Common Workplace Injuries We Treat

Workplace injuries often affect the spine, muscles, ligaments, and nerves, especially in the neck and back. Our physicians treat a wide range of conditions commonly caused by on-the-job accidents or repetitive stress, including:

Lower back pain and upper back pain from lifting, bending, or prolonged sitting
Neck pain and whiplash injuries from sudden motion or strain
Herniated disc, bulging disc, and degenerative disc disease
Sciatica or lumbar radiculopathy causing radiating leg pain
Cervical radiculopathy or neuropathy resulting in arm or hand weakness
Muscle spasms and ligament sprains
Facet joint disease, spinal stenosis, or joint pain
Chronic pain and inflammation from repetitive motion or poor ergonomics
Post-surgical pain following prior spine or orthopedic surgery

Workplace injuries can range from acute trauma to long-term wear and tear, but early, accurate treatment helps prevent complications and supports full recovery.

Symptoms of Workplace-Related Injuries

Symptoms can develop suddenly after an accident or gradually over time. Common signs of workplace injuries include:

Neck, shoulder, or back pain
Stiffness and limited range of motion
Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs
Radiating nerve pain
Muscle tightness or spasms
Headaches, fatigue, or difficulty concentrating
Pain that worsens with movement, sitting, or standing

If pain interferes with work performance or daily activities, it’s important to see a specialist for evaluation and treatment.

Diagnosing Workplace Injuries

Our team uses advanced diagnostic techniques to pinpoint the source of your pain and develop an individualized treatment plan. Evaluation may include:

Comprehensive medical history and physical exam to assess posture and movement
X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to identify structural or soft tissue damage
Pain mapping to localize specific areas of pain
Diagnostic nerve blocks to determine whether a nerve is contributing to discomfort

This thorough approach helps identify the exact cause of your symptoms and guide the most effective treatment.
