“Can occupational medicine diagnose work injuries?”
I think my back problems are from standing for extended periods of time at work. Is an occupational medicine doctor the doctor I should go to?

Hi. If you are concerned your back problems are work related, You may want to find out which approved orthopedic physicians are set up through your workers comp insurance, so that if it’s related you may be able to work with them to adjust how you do your job. If you want to go a different route, I would research chiropractors who use a “torque release technique” after taking nerve scans and x-rays before hand. If it turns out to be compression within a disc, you could also look for a chiropractor who offers spinal decompression treatment. I hope these options help you get started. Feel better!
