Common Workplace Injuries & Treatment Options

Seeking prompt, specialized care after sustaining an injury at work is key to a full recovery. Delaying treatment can lead to prolonged pain, reduced mobility, or, in severe cases, permanent damage. Fortunately, early intervention can help you heal faster and prevent potential complications.

At our practice, we focus on helping injured workers recover safely and return to their jobs and daily activities efficiently. We're proud to offer comprehensive treatment options for a wide range of work-related injuries, including:

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: This condition is caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers.
  • Sprains & Strains: These injuries are common in work environments that involve physical labor or repetitive motions.
  • Tendonitis: Often stemming from repetitive tasks, this condition involves inflammation of the tendons and may cause swelling, pain, and tenderness. 
  • Fractures: Workplace accidents, such as slips, trips, or falls, can lead to fractured bones, often requiring extended recovery times.

Depending on the type and severity of your injury, Dr. Wong may recommend a variety of treatment options to help restore function and alleviate pain. These may include:

  • Physical Therapy: Often the first step in recovery, physical therapy helps restore strength, flexibility, and function while preventing further injury. Through guided exercises and stretches, our therapists focus on getting you back to work stronger and more resilient than before.
  • Medication Management: Depending on the level of pain or inflammation, Dr. Wong might recommend over-the-counter or prescription medications to alleviate discomfort and expedite recovery.
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures: For conditions that require advanced care, we offer minimally invasive options like Injections and PRP therapy to address pain and promote healing.
  • Workplace Modifications & Ergonomic Support: Preventing re-injury is vital. Dr. Wong can provide recommendations on workstation adjustments, assistive devices, and safe working techniques to reduce the likelihood of future injuries.

With a combination of cutting-edge technology and compassionate care, we are here to support you every step of the way in your recovery. Our goal is not only to assist in healing but also to help you return to your work and daily life with confidence.
