Corporate Wellness

What Is Corporate Wellness?

Corporate wellness brings healthcare directly to the workplace. At SF Custom Chiropractic, our corporate wellness programs deliver on-site chiropractic care, ergonomic assessments, health education workshops, and wellness events to San Francisco businesses — from tech startups in SoMa to financial firms in the Financial District to creative agencies in the Mission.

The numbers speak for themselves: musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) account for 31 percent of all lost workdays in the United States, making them the single largest category of workplace injuries. Research consistently shows that every dollar invested in workplace wellness programs returns approximately six dollars in reduced absenteeism, lower healthcare costs, and improved productivity. Corporate wellness is not an expense — it is an investment with measurable returns.

Our Corporate Wellness Services

On-Site Chiropractic Care

We bring our chiropractors and equipment directly to your office on a regular schedule. Employees receive chair-based or table-based chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, and movement assessments — all without leaving the workplace. Convenient access eliminates the barriers of scheduling, commuting, and time away from the office that prevent many employees from seeking the care they need.

On-site visits can be structured as:

• Weekly or biweekly scheduled sessions — consistent care on a set day each week
• Monthly wellness days — a full day of appointments for your team
• Event-based visits — one-time visits for health fairs, team building, or open enrollment events

Ergonomic Assessments

Poor workstation setup is the primary driver of desk-related musculoskeletal complaints. Our ergonomic assessment program evaluates each employee’s individual workspace and provides specific, actionable recommendations for improvement:

• Monitor height and distance — reducing eye strain and neck flexion
• Chair adjustment — seat height, back support, armrest positioning
• Keyboard and mouse placement — minimizing wrist extension and ulnar deviation
• Desk organization — reducing repetitive reaching and twisting
• Standing desk optimization — proper height settings and sit-stand ratio guidance
• Laptop and remote worker solutions — addressing the unique challenges of non-traditional workstations

Each employee receives a written report with their assessment findings and recommendations, along with a brief education session on maintaining optimal posture throughout the day.

Health Fairs and Wellness Events

Our team participates in company health fairs and wellness events, offering:

• Complimentary postural screenings — identifying common postural faults and their health implications
• Digital foot scans — using Foot Levelers technology to assess arch health and foot mechanics
• Blood pressure screenings — basic cardiovascular health checks
• Body composition analysis — providing employees with baseline health metrics
• Educational materials — take-home resources on ergonomics, stretching, and injury prevention

Workshops and Lunch-and-Learns

Our providers deliver engaging, practical educational sessions on topics including:

• Desk ergonomics and posture correction — hands-on workshop with immediate workstation adjustments
• Stretching and movement breaks — office-friendly exercises employees can do throughout the day
• Stress management and mindfulness — techniques for managing workplace stress and its physical effects
• Injury prevention for active employees — training safely, avoiding overuse injuries, and when to seek care
• Nutrition for energy and focus — dietary strategies that support sustained productivity

The Business Case for Corporate Wellness

Reducing Costs

• MSDs account for 31% of all lost workdays nationwide
• Every $1 invested in workplace wellness programs saves approximately $6 in direct and indirect costs
• Companies with wellness programs report 25% lower sick leave absenteeism
• Employee healthcare costs are measurably reduced in organizations with active wellness initiatives

Improving Productivity

• Employees in pain are present but not productive — a phenomenon called presenteeism that costs employers more than absenteeism
• Regular chiropractic care reduces musculoskeletal complaints that distract employees from their work
• Ergonomic interventions reduce discomfort that accumulates throughout the workday
• Healthy employees are more focused, creative, and engaged

Attracting and Retaining Talent

In San Francisco’s competitive talent market, workplace wellness programs are a meaningful differentiator:

• 78% of employees report that wellness benefits influence their decision to stay with an employer
• On-site healthcare demonstrates a tangible investment in employee well-being
• Wellness programs contribute to a positive workplace culture that attracts top talent

How Our Programs Work

Step 1: Needs Assessment

We begin with a consultation to understand your company’s size, industry, physical workspace, common employee health complaints, and wellness goals. This allows us to design a program specifically tailored to your organization.

Step 2: Custom Program Design

Based on the needs assessment, we present a proposal outlining recommended services, scheduling, pricing, and expected outcomes. Programs are flexible and scalable — from a monthly wellness day for a 20-person startup to a comprehensive weekly program for a large enterprise.

Step 3: Implementation

Our team arrives on schedule with all necessary equipment. We handle all logistics — appointment scheduling, setup, breakdown, and employee communication templates.

Step 4: Reporting and Optimization

We provide regular reports on program utilization, common conditions treated, and aggregate health trends (fully HIPAA-compliant). This data helps you demonstrate ROI and refine the program over time.
