Work Injury Chiropractor in Jacksonville, FL
Full Swing Healthcare treats work injuries in Jacksonville and handles workers' comp documentation from start to finish. You focus on recovering.
When Your Job Hurts Your Body
Jacksonville has a working population. Construction workers on Beach Blvd development sites. Warehouse and distribution workers in the Southside and Regency areas. Nurses and healthcare workers on their feet for 12-hour shifts at UF Health and Baptist Medical. CDL drivers running I-95 and I-10 for hours a day. Office workers at the St. Johns Town Center corridor putting in eight hours hunched over a screen. All of them end up with the same kinds of injuries.
Back pain is the number one work-related injury in the United States. Followed closely by neck and shoulder problems, carpal tunnel and wrist issues, knee pain from prolonged standing or kneeling, and repetitive motion injuries to tendons and soft tissue. Most of these conditions don't require surgery. They require proper diagnosis and the right combination of treatment.
At Full Swing Healthcare, we treat work injuries and we handle workers' compensation documentation. You focus on recovering. We handle the paperwork side.
Common Work Injuries We Treat
Workers' Compensation in Florida
Florida workers' compensation covers medical treatment for injuries that occur on the job. Chiropractic care is a covered service under Florida workers' comp. If you were injured at work, your employer's insurance carrier is responsible for your treatment costs, not you.
The process starts with reporting the injury to your employer and getting a referral to an authorized treating provider. Dr. Muren is an authorized workers' compensation provider. We handle all billing and documentation directly with the carrier so you can focus on your recovery.
Important: report the injury to your employer as soon as it happens. Florida workers' comp has strict reporting deadlines. Delays in reporting can complicate your claim. If you are unsure whether your injury qualifies, call us at (904) 539-3352 and we will help you understand your options before your first visit.
Treatment Approach for Work Injuries
Work injuries are usually a combination of structural and soft tissue problems. A warehouse worker who threw out their back lifting probably has a combination of restricted facet joints, compressed disc tissue, and muscle guarding that set in within hours of the injury. Treating only one component produces incomplete results.
We start with a full assessment of the injury mechanism, the structural findings, and what soft tissue is involved. Most work injury patients get a combination of chiropractic adjustments with soft tissue therapy in the same visit. For repetitive strain injuries or anything with a chronic tendon component, we add StemWave shockwave therapy. Acupuncture is also useful for pain management during recovery, especially for patients who want to minimize medication use.
After the acute phase, we build in movement and rehabilitation exercises using our turf rehab space to restore strength and function before you return to work. The goal is not just getting you out of pain. It is making sure the injury doesn't come back when you go back to the same job.
CDL Drivers and Occupational Back Pain
Jacksonville is a major logistics hub. Drivers running I-95, I-10, and US-1 spend long hours in a seated position with constant vibration loading their lumbar spine. The result is accelerated disc degeneration, lumbar facet joint irritation, and hip flexor tightness that builds into chronic lower back pain over time.
Dr. Muren is also a certified FMCSA medical examiner. CDL drivers can get their DOT physical done here and receive chiropractic treatment at the same location. We understand the physical demands of the job and we build care plans that work with a driver's schedule, not against it.
