01Understanding the injury

What a work injury does to your body.

A workplace injury is about more than missing work for a few days. Whether you lifted something heavy, slipped on a wet floor, or developed pain from repetitive motions, the injury can affect your muscles, joints, discs, nerves, and overall mobility.

Even injuries that seem minor at first can become more limiting if they aren’t evaluated. Pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced movement often develop over the hours or days after the accident, making everyday tasks more difficult.

At Cavanaugh Chiropractic, we’ve helped injured workers across Acadiana since 1974. Our goal is to identify exactly what’s causing your pain, build a treatment plan around your job demands, and help you recover without surgery or unnecessary medication.

03Our treatment approach

What your recovery will actually look like.

Every job and every injury is different, so your plan is built around both, and paced to get you safely back to work. After a thorough evaluation, your care may draw from these proven techniques:
Spinal adjustments
Restoring alignment and motion strained by a fall, a heavy lift, or repetitive work.
Soft tissue therapy
Hands-on work that releases the tight, overworked muscles behind on-the-job strain.
Spinal decompression
Gentle traction that relieves pressure on discs and nerves from lifting or long hours on your feet.
Therapeutic exercise
Strengthening and mobility work that rebuilds resilience for the demands of your job.
Ergonomics & posture coaching
Practical changes to how you lift, sit, and move so the injury doesn't return.
