Most work injuries in Yuba City don’t come from a serious accident. They come from overuse: small tasks, repeated in a poor position, that add up over time. Dr. Kalay’s exam finds what the work has done to your spine and joints, and the sooner you come in, the easier recovery tends to be.
Sounds familiar?
You’d expect the big package that falls on you to be the problem. More often it’s the small ones, handled again and again every day. Repetitive stress is the most common thread behind injuries at work.
01
Small tasks done with poor posture turn into big problems over time. Each one seems harmless; it’s the repetition that does the damage.
02
Twisting and turning while moving boxes loads the lower back in an awkward position, shift after shift. Lower back pain is one of the most common work-related problems.
03
Continuous typing in a poor position strains the wrists and hands. Jobs built on repetitive hand and wrist work are linked to carpal tunnel syndrome.
04
Long-term use of vibrating tools is another job risk for the wrist, where swelling and misaligned bones can press on the nerve running into the hand.
Dr. Kalay assesses the injury, explains what it will take to recover, and builds the plan around it. If you need something the clinic doesn’t provide, the team is happy to refer you out.
For the spine and joints
When a joint is out of position, the area around it can swell and irritate the nerves nearby, which is how one strain turns into several problems. Adjustments work to correct those joints, in the spine and, when the hand and wrist are involved, in the bones of the wrist.

General information, not medical advice. Your own exam decides your care.
Yes. Most work injuries don’t come from a serious accident. They come from overuse: lifting, twisting and turning, or typing in a poor position, repeated every day until a small strain becomes a real problem.
Lower back pain and repetitive stress injuries are two of the most common, and carpal tunnel syndrome is one of those repetitive stress injuries. Chiropractors address these work-related conditions regularly.
As soon as you can. The sooner you get proper care after a work injury, the easier it is to recover. Dr. Kalay assesses your condition and helps you understand what it is going to take to get better.
