San Mateo accident therapy

The Home
If asked to name the "safest place," most of us would say our home. But, as Dean Harman, DC can attest, the home harbors many dangers that can seriously injure or kill you. There are poisons and noxious chemicals in cleaning and home maintenance supplies. The electricity that powers your home can shock and kill. If you'd like more information about how to take precautions in the home, contact Dean Harman's accident therapists in San Mateo and the San Mateo accident therapy preventative advice from his office.

The Workplace
San Mateo accident therapy practitioners at Harman Chiropractic Center see their share of workplace injuries, as well. One of the most common injuries suffered at work is strain and sprain of the back/spine, occurring most frequently in the lower back. Bending and lifting improperly are responsible for most of these injuries. To avoid these accidents, be alert and attentive when performing tasks that require physical lifting. Do not attempt to lift objects that are too heavy or bulky; ask for assistance.

Slips, trips, and falls are also common workplace accidents that can result in head injuries, back injuries, broken bones, cuts and lacerations, or sprained muscles. A few simple precautions will help you avoid time away from work and possible serious injury. Clean up any spilled liquids. Keep passageways clear of debris. And use proper safety equipment such as headgear and safety glasses when working on hazardous job sites. And, as always, contact Harman Chiropractic Center for more preventative accident advice!

On the Road
Your accident therapists in San Mateo, California, at Harman Chiropractic Center - just like every American - understand the potential for serious bodily injury through the involvement in an automobile accident. Even minor injuries, when left unattended or undetected, have the potential to resurface again, in the future, and exacerbate other, unrelated, physical conditions. Some whiplash injury symptoms take weeks, months, and even years before they show. If you have been involved in a car accident, motorcycle accident, or any high-impact accident you should seek medical attention immediately. Provided your injuries do not warrant immediate, emergency medical attention, consult your San Mateo accident therapy specialist, or chiropractor; we'll help assess your overall health and help you determine the proper course for treatment.

Accidents happen, but with some basic safety awareness, common sense, and the help of your accident therapists in San Mateo, most can be avoided.
