Workplace Injury Treatment
No matter whether your work is in the office or outside on the land you need to be able to cope with the individual demands made on your body by the style of work you do. Manual work inevitably carries the inherent risk of injury caused by heavy and often awkward lifting, overstretching, and periods of prolonged bending causing back and disc injuries, sciatica, and muscle strains.
Our Mission
Thankfully, one of our experienced osteopaths at North Melbourne Osteopathy can help. After conducting a complete history, orthopaedic and neurological examination, your practitioner will recommend a course of treatment that aims to reduce pressure, restore movement and prevent recurrence.
Typically, your practitioner will recommend the following:
- Postural advice and how to avoid further strain
- Increase joint mobility to restore proper movement to the affected joints
- Hands-on massage to tight muscles
- Exercises to encourage improved movement
- Strengthening joints and muscles
- Heat/ice therapy to help manage your pain and swelling
