Workplace injuries account for millions of lost workdays in the United States each year, and the musculoskeletal system bears the brunt of most of them. Whether you suffered a sudden traumatic injury on a construction site, developed chronic pain from repetitive motions on an assembly line, or strained your back lifting boxes in a warehouse, the underlying problem is often the same: spinal misalignment, disc damage, or joint dysfunction that prevents the body from healing properly on its own. Workers' compensation systems tend to funnel injured employees toward medication and short-term rest, but without correcting the structural cause, symptoms frequently return the moment you go back to work.

Sycamore Chiropractic in Laguna Hills helps Orange County workers recover from on-the-job injuries and return to work faster with evidence-based chiropractic care. Dr. Craig Petersen has treated warehouse workers, office professionals, restaurant staff, construction crews, healthcare workers, and everyone in between. Every treatment plan is built around your specific injury, your physical demands at work, and your timeline for returning to full duty. We accept most workers' compensation plans and work directly with adjusters and employers to streamline the process.

Evidence-Based Care

How Chiropractic Treats Work Injury

Dr. Petersen tailors treatment to the type of work injury. For acute traumatic injuries — falls, struck-by incidents, and lifting accidents — he focuses on restoring spinal alignment, reducing inflammation, and stabilizing the affected region. For cumulative-trauma and repetitive-strain injuries, treatment addresses the postural imbalances and joint restrictions that have developed over time. Techniques include manual spinal adjustments, instrument-assisted adjustments for sensitive areas, flexion-distraction therapy for disc injuries, soft-tissue mobilization, and progressive rehabilitative exercises designed to match the physical demands of your job. Cold laser therapy is used to accelerate tissue repair and reduce pain without medication.

Common Questions

Work Injury FAQ

Yes. In California, injured workers have the right to choose their treating physician, including a chiropractor, provided they have pre-designated their personal physician or chiropractor before the injury. Even without pre-designation, you may be able to switch to a chiropractor after the initial 30-day treatment period. Our office can help you understand your rights under California workers' compensation law.
It depends on the nature and severity of the injury and the physical demands of your job. Many patients return to modified duty within one to two weeks and to full duty within four to eight weeks. Dr. Petersen provides clear work-restriction recommendations at each visit so your employer knows exactly what you can and cannot do during recovery.
You should still seek treatment. Delaying care while a claim is disputed allows the injury to worsen. Sycamore Chiropractic can treat you on a personal-injury lien or self-pay basis while your claim is being resolved. The clinical documentation we create also strengthens your case if the dispute proceeds to a hearing.
We treat both. Repetitive strain injuries — sometimes called cumulative-trauma disorders — are among the most common workplace injuries we see. Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic neck and shoulder tension from desk work, and lower back pain from repetitive bending all respond well to chiropractic care combined with ergonomic guidance and targeted exercises.
