Work Injuries

On-the-job injuries often result from an isolated incident.  Our office is highly experienced in effectively treating work related injuries.

More than 70% of workplace injuries involve the joints, muscles, ligaments, spinal discs and nerves of the spine or extremities.

By law, Ohio injured workers may choose chiropractic care for the treatment of their work injury. Dr. Carradine is an Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation Certified Provider and specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of work related injuries. Our office will help you complete all the necessary correspondence related to your work injury. We understand that work injuries are already stressful enough without confusing paperwork. Our experienced staff is highly knowledgeable about the workers compensation system and can assist you in navigating through the workers compensation process.

Sometimes companies will try to direct their injured workers to specific doctors, and although the company may suggest that you attend these doctors, they may not force you to do so on a continued basis. It’s not uncommon for company doctors to be more concerned about the best interests of the company than those of the injured worker.

Work injuries can also occur from repetitive stresses over the course of time.  We offer a variety of treatments that can successfully treat conditions such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

They may offer less care than you really need by minimizing your injury and simply sending you on your way with little or no treatment. Likewise, the significance of your injuries may not be taken seriously and fully cared for at the Emergency Room. Our patients always come first. Although we like to think of ourselves as being both company and patient friendly, we will never ignore or minimize your injuries at the insistence of the company or the managed care organization handling your claim.

Dr. Carradine Asks some important questions of interest to Boardman residents - Chiropractor Boardman Dr. Carradine Asks...

What can a chiropractor do for asthma?
Many people think of chiropractic as exclusively dealing with the spine. But I'm interested in the spine because it covers the nervous system. Problems in the spine can produce problems in the organs and tissues controlled by the affected nerves—including those to the lungs and bronchial tubes. Find out how chiropractic care has helped those with asthma.
What happens if you stop chiropractic care when you feel better?
Many Boardman folks recognize that this predisposes you to a relapse. Chiropractors know that muscles and ligaments supporting the spine don't fully heal until after symptoms subside.
