Work injuries come in two forms and both end up in a chiropractic office regularly. The first is the acute injury: a sudden lift, a slip and fall, or a collision that produces immediate pain and sends the patient looking for care. The second is the cumulative injury: the back pain, neck pain, or shoulder condition that developed gradually over months or years of repetitive motion, awkward positioning, or prolonged sitting, and finally reached a point where it could no longer be ignored.
Both deserve a thorough evaluation and a real treatment plan. At Lagoni Chiropractic, Dr. Jay Lagoni takes work-related injuries seriously regardless of how they developed. A detailed history and physical evaluation identifies what structures are involved, what is driving the pain, and what the most appropriate course of care looks like. Digital X-rays are available in the office when imaging is needed, and Dr. Jay coordinates with other providers and can facilitate advanced imaging when the clinical picture calls for it.
Work injuries treated at Lagoni Chiropractic include lower back strains and sprains from lifting and repetitive bending, neck and upper back pain from prolonged desk work, screen use, or driving, shoulder injuries from overhead work or repetitive reaching, and nerve-related conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and radiculopathy that develop from sustained awkward positions or repetitive hand and wrist use. Workers in production, warehousing, transportation, and office environments are among the most common presentations.
Regarding workers compensation in Indiana: Indiana law allows employers to direct medical care for work injuries, which means workers comp cases often do not come to a private practice like Lagoni Chiropractic through the standard workers comp channel. If you were injured at work and are seeking care on your own outside of the workers comp system, Dr. Jay can see you as a standard patient. Personal injury cases are accepted and Dr. Jay can work with legal representation when documentation of care and outcomes is needed.
