Osteopathy and Work Injuries

Kew Osteopathic Clinic has been treating work injuries throughout its history. All Osteopaths at the clinic are registered with WorkSafe Victoria.

When looking at work-related injuries it is very important to work with the patient's General Practitioner in coming up with a return to work treatment plan. This may include ergonomic advice, specific exercises, reduced hours and/or altered duties, to aid their return to work.

Osteopathy may be helpful in reducing the symptoms of a range of work-related complaints and issues such as:

• lifting injuries (especially lower and upper back pain)
• elbow/wrist tendonitis and RSI issues
• neck pain / headache due to poor ergonomic setup and/or computer work

Please let us know if you are already on WorkSafe when you ring us for an appointment. If you are suffering from a work-related injury but are not on WorkSafe we can discuss how WorkSafe works for you when you come in.
If you have any questions regarding a work-related injury and what your options are please contact us.
