CHIROPRACTIC FOR INJURIES

How Chiropractic Care Can Help You Recover from an Injury

Patients frequently come to J & C Company Chiropractic to receive effective treatment after they have become injured. Dr. Jessica provides clients personalized attention and top-of-the-line care to help them recover quickly and manage their pain through non-invasive treatment. Whether you were involved in a car accident or injured yourself while playing sports or on the job, we are here to help you care for your injuries.

How Does Chiropractic Care Help With Injury Recovery?

Chiropractic care can alleviate and prevent injuries by restoring a person’s optimal joint mobility, removing nerve interference, and aligning the spine. In addition to helping patients recover from specific injuries, chiropractic care improves a person’s overall health. Proper spinal health can improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and reduce pain and tension in muscles, all of which help the body’s ability to heal itself. Do not wait to visit a chiropractor after you have been injured. At J & C Company Chiropractic, we provide personalized and thorough treatment plans for patients of all ages.

Common Accidents That Result in Injuries

Many different accidents can result in injuries that benefit from chiropractic care. Auto accidents are some of the most common causes of injuries. During a motor vehicle collision, a victim’s neck and head can snack forward and backward forcefully, causing damage to the soft tissue, nerves, and ligaments.

Virtually any type of accident can result in muscle, joined, or tendon pain, including the following:

When Should I See a Chiropractor After an Accident?

If you have been involved in a car accident, slip and fall accident, or another type of accident and become injured, you may wonder when you should see a chiropractor. If you have been seriously injured, call 911 and request a paramedic to take you to the hospital. If your injuries are not severe, we recommend visiting your medical doctor for a comprehensive evaluation.

As soon as you receive medical care, we recommend reaching out to a chiropractor. Chiropractors will help you recover from your injuries as quickly and optimally as possible. We will provide a comprehensive exam and image testing to determine the full extent of your injuries. Instead of just treating your injuries through medication, we will create a specialized treatment plan tailored to your recovery needs. We thoroughly treat the whole person.

Chiropractic Care After a Car Accident

Unfortunately, a car accident only takes a few seconds to cause devastating injuries. A person involved in a serious car accident will often experience multiple injuries. The pain and discomfort of these injuries can negatively affect their day-to-day lives. Severe injuries can result in a person unable to work, play with their kids, and participate in the activities they once loved. A chiropractor can help you recover quickly and manage pain naturally and comprehensively after being injured in a car accident. Chiropractors can help with all the following types of injuries that car accident victims commonly experience:

Whiplash
Pain in the neck and shoulders
Back pain
Limb injuries
Knee injuries
Injured spinal cord
Muscle soreness and chest pain

Chiropractic Care for Neck Sprain

Neck sprain injuries, commonly called whiplash, are one of the leading causes of pain after accidents. Whiplash injuries can make daily living difficult. Victims may be unable to move heavy objects or even turn their necks without significant pain. Acute cervical soft tissue injuries can make it difficult for a person to look down at their phone or computer, making working difficult, if not impossible.

The symptoms of a neck sprain can begin abruptly. However, in many cases, they do not start to develop until hours or even years after the accident. Victims of neck sprain may experience a constant dull neck pain that intensifies or becomes sharp when they move their necks. Headaches are common, especially when the upper cervical spine is involved. Some patients experience painful muscular spasms or overlapping myofascial involvement.

If you have experienced a neck sprain, Dr. Jessica can help you develop a plan to control your pain and decrease inflammation. Neck exercises, ice, massage, and chiropractic adjustments can help you restore your mobility and joint function.

Elbow and Wrist Strains

Elbow and wrist injuries can happen due to a specific injury, such as a dislocated elbow, or due to overuse. Sports accidents are common causes of elbow and wrist injuries. More often than not, elbow and wrist pain is due to wear and tear, especially from those working with their hands or computers. If you have been involved in an accident and are experiencing elbow and wrist strain, the accident may have exacerbated existing damage in your elbow or wrist. Dr. Jessica can evaluate your injuries and develop an effective treatment plan using non-invasive means.

Pain Management Through Chiropractic Care

Injuries from car accidents and other accidents can cause muscle, tendon, and ligament tears, strains, and pains. These injuries cause soft-tissue damage that can take weeks or even months to heal fully. Soft tissue damage can be extremely painful, even more so than some types of bone injuries. As a person’s body heals itself, it will create scar tissue over the torn muscle. The scar tissue can reduce strength and flexibility, creating joint stiffness and muscle pain.
