Work Injuries in Fargo

By the end of a shift, your back may ache from lifting, your neck may feel stiff from computer work, or your wrist may hurt with repeated movements. Work-related discomfort can look different from one job to another. At Bjorlie Chiropractic, Dr. Kevin Bjorlie, DC, starts by learning what your work involves and how your symptoms affect the day.

Whether you’re on a construction site or at a desk, the aim is to understand the problem and recommend care that fits your needs.

Looking at the Demands of Your Job

Your chiropractor asks about your daily tasks, when symptoms started, and which movements make them worse. Repeated lifting, bending, twisting, sitting, or standing can place different demands on muscles and joints.

The practice serves people in all fields, including construction, farming, hairdressing, heavy equipment operation, and office roles. Your health history and examination help determine whether chiropractic care is suitable or further assessment is needed.

Common Reasons to Seek an Assessment

Patients may seek an evaluation for:

• Sprains and strains
• Neck pain and headaches
• Upper or lower back pain
• Hip discomfort
• Arm, leg, wrist, or hand pain
• Joint discomfort associated with arthritis
• Posture-related aches

These symptoms can have several causes. Your chiropractor considers the examination findings alongside your work demands before explaining the recommended approach.

When You Need to Keep Working

Taking time away from work isn’t always straightforward. Depending on your findings, your chiropractor may recommend temporary work restrictions or discuss changes to how you lift, bend, and twist. The goal is to reduce strain while still allowing you to do the tasks your job requires.

Tell us which duties are difficult and what flexibility you have during a shift. That information helps make recommendations more practical.

Building Habits Beyond the Appointment

Care may also include guidance on stretching and strengthening exercises, including how often to do them. Your chiropractor can discuss signs that an activity needs modifying and help you recognize patterns in recurring discomfort.

Recommendations may change as your symptoms and work duties change. Keep us informed about new tasks or a heavier workload.
