PROUDLY SERVING OUR VETERANS

Work Injury Chiropractor in Asheville, NC
Conditions > Work Injuries
A lot of work injuries do not happen from one dramatic moment. Most of the patients we see came in because of something that built up over time. Months of sitting at a desk with a screen too high, years of lifting and twisting in the same direction, or a job that keeps them on their feet for eight hours straight. Then one day something gives.
Dr. Mark Szostczuk works with people in Asheville who got hurt on the job, whether it happened all at once or wore them down gradually. The goal is straightforward: figure out what is actually wrong and help them get back to work without the pain following them home.
Injuries We See From Work
No two jobs are the same, and neither are the injuries. These are the ones that bring people through our door most often.
● Back pain: lifting, loading, sitting for long stretches, or working bent over puts serious strain on the lower and mid back over time.
● Neck pain: screen work, overhead tasks, and poor workstation setup are common causes of chronic neck stiffness and pain.
● Shoulder pain: repetitive reaching, carrying, or working with arms raised puts steady wear on the shoulder joint.
● Sciatica: nerve pain that runs from the lower back down through the leg, often brought on by prolonged sitting or physical labor.
● Wrist pain: repetitive hand and wrist movements from typing, tools, or assembly work add up faster than most people expect.
● Elbow pain: gripping, twisting, and repetitive arm motions frequently lead to tendon irritation around the elbow.
● Headaches: tension headaches tied to neck strain and poor posture are more common in desk workers than most realize.
What Actually Happens at Your First Visit
Some patients come in nervous because they have never seen a chiropractor before. Others have seen one but had a bad experience and are not sure what to expect here.
Dr. Szostczuk spends the first visit going over what happened, when it started, and how it has changed. He looks at how you move, where the restriction is, and what is actually driving the problem. You will not leave with a stack of paperwork and no answers. He will tell you what he found and what he thinks the best path forward looks like.
From there, treatment usually involves chiropractic adjustments to address spinal alignment and nerve pressure, massage therapy to work through the muscle tension that has built up around the injury, and posture correction when the way someone holds themselves at work is part of what got them hurt in the first place.
Workers Compensation and Work Injury Claims
If you were hurt on the job in North Carolina, you may have the right to medical treatment covered under your employer's workers compensation insurance. Chiropractic care is a recognized and covered treatment under most workers comp policies.
Dr. Szostczuk documents injuries thoroughly. If you need records for a claim, a case manager, or an attorney, the paperwork will be accurate and complete. Call us before your first visit and we can walk through the process with you so there are no surprises.
Getting Back to Work
The goal here is not just pain relief. It is getting people back to doing their job without bracing themselves every time they move. Dr. Szostczuk works with patients on the full recovery, not just the first few visits.
