What chiropractic treatments can help with a personal injury?
Our chiropractor has many “tools” at his disposal for treating a personal injury. Our treatments can relieve your pain and promote natural healing of your injury.
- Adjustments - Chiropractic adjustments focus on restoring spinal function by correcting imbalances in your spinal system that are compressing spinal nerves. By realigning your system, adjustments relieve pain and inflammation and help restore spinal mobility.
- Massage - Massage helps relax muscle tension and stress to minimize pain and eliminate spasms. Soft tissue massage also circulates blood to injured areas to quicken your healing.
- Corrective Exercises - Therapeutic exercises build up core muscles to prevent future injury. Through stretching and rehab exercises, you can regain much of your flexibility and mobility.
What can I expect from an initial chiropractic visit?
On your first visit to our center, we’ll review your medical history and lifestyle habits to get a better idea of your state of health and well-being. We’ll discuss the details of your accident and go over your symptoms. We’ll perform a physical exam, test your movement, and examine your spinal health to diagnose your condition. Depending on the severity of your injury, we may order imaging in the form of an x-ray, MRI, or CT scan to confirm our diagnosis. This information will be used to develop a plan for chiropractic treatment.
