At Aspire Chiropractic in Gresham & Portland, OR, Dr. Mark Betsill and their staff are experts at dealing with work injury accident injury victims. Here are some brief facts about Workplace injuries and how chiropractic care can help you with your pain.
Nearly 3 million workers are injured on the job each year, according to the Department of Labor. The most common injuries are falls, trips, and slips in the workplace. Here are some of the other common workplace injuries:
Muscle strains from lifting
Being struck by a falling item
Repetitive motion injuries
Your posture and workplace environment are also common causes of injuries. If your desk and computer aren’t at the proper height, or you sit for long periods of time, you can also be at risk.
“Text Neck” from using mobile devices
Muscle strain from excessive computer use
Sitting for too long or working in an awkward posture
Those that drive as part of their job are susceptible to accidents and injuries, including whiplash from jarring stops which whip the head back and forth rapidly.
Starting with a comprehensive examination, the chiropractor will test reflexes and flexibility. Additional tests may be needed, including posture, physical or orthopedic tests as well as standard neurological tests and imaging in order to determine the best course of treatment.
For work injury accident injury, a chiropractor works with you to develop a personal treatment pain to help minimize pain and provide corrective measures. Treatments may include a combination of manual manipulation, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage. This can help increase your range of motion and reduce pain. By having the proper alignment in your spine, pressure on your joints can be relieved. That can also improve nerve function and reduce any inflammation.
Subsequent treatments can train muscles to help keep alignment consistent and improve posture. In addition, a home wellness program may be developed to include at-home exercises and ice or heat treatments.
Chiropractors have been proven to help relieve shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, back, neck, and ankle and foot pain.
Don’t let a work injury accident injury compromise your quality of life. Dr. Mark Betsill, along with the caring staff at Aspire Chiropractic can help you manage your pain and get you back to healthy living.

Dr. Mark Betsill is a dedicated chiropractor serving patients in Gresham with more than a decade of experience helping individuals move better, feel better, and return to the activities they enjoy most. He earned his undergraduate degree in Physical Education and Health from Boise State University, where his interest in health and human performance first began to take shape.
After experiencing firsthand how chiropractic care helped him recover from an upper back injury that was affecting his golf game, Dr. Betsill discovered the path he wanted to pursue. He went on to attend Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2007.
Dr. Betsill focuses on helping patients recover from neck and back pain, sports injuries, postural stress, auto accident injuries, and workplace-related conditions. He uses gentle, effective techniques including manual adjustments, the Activator Method, and drop-table adjustments to address spinal misalignment and extremity dysfunction. He also has a special clinical interest in neck and lower back disc herniations, often combining chiropractic adjustments with computerized mechanical traction to improve pain relief, mobility, and function.
While many patients first visit because of pain, Dr. Betsill is passionate about helping them move beyond symptom relief. His goal is to help people improve functional movement, maintain spinal health, and support long-term wellness. He treats patients of all ages—including infants, children, teens, athletes, and pregnant women—and believes chiropractic care can play an important role in addressing not only spinal concerns, but also shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle, and foot discomfort.
Shortly before graduating in 2007, Dr. Betsill faced a personal health challenge that deeply shaped his philosophy of care. After multiple emergency room visits for dizziness, syncope, and chest pain, he began looking beyond symptoms alone. Through that experience, he came to better understand the effects of physical, chemical, and emotional stress on the body. By combining chiropractic care, massage, exercise, and proper nutrition, he restored his own health—an experience that continues to influence the way he cares for patients today.
Originally from northern Nevada and southern Idaho, Dr. Betsill grew up playing sports, with golf becoming a lifelong favorite. He also enjoys hunting, fishing, and spending time outdoors. Today, he and his wife and two sons enjoy life in the Pacific Northwest. When he’s not in the office, you’ll often find him on the course with the men’s club at Gresham Golf Course or staying active and fit with his family.
