Work Injury Chiropractic Care in Southern Pines, NC
At Sports Performance Chiropractic, Dr. James Kennedy, DC, CSCS, leads hands-on chiropractic care for work-related injuries caused by repetitive motions or prolonged physical demands at work. Located in Southern Pines, NC, our practice offers 60-minute, one-on-one sessions incorporating chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, dry needling, and movement correction to identify and resolve repetitive strain or overuse conditions—without drugs or surgery.
Understanding Work Injuries
Workplace injuries often develop gradually rather than from a single incident. Common symptoms include:
- Lower back pain
- Shoulder discomfort
- Hand or wrist conditions like carpal tunnel
- Joint pain or disc disturbances
- Sciatica or leg pain from postural or mechanical stress
Jobs requiring repetitive motions—lifting, typing, bending—can lead to musculoskeletal dysfunction if not addressed early.
Detailed Evaluation by Dr. James Kennedy
All new patients receive a thorough, one-on-one evaluation conducted personally by Dr. Kennedy, including:
- Review of work-related symptom history
- Functional movement and posture analysis
- Joint palpation and soft-tissue assessment
- Motion testing to isolate biomechanical triggers
- Diagnostic referrals as needed for clarity
This expert approach targets underlying causes of work-related strain and supports lasting recovery.
