Personal Injury & Auto Accident Injuries

What is Personal Injury?

“Personal Injury” is a term, strictly legal in its meaning, referring to injury to your body rather than property. It is a term used to describe unfortunate injuries that you have to sustain because of accidents, including slips and falls, car accidents, pedestrian accidents, truck accidents, etc. 

​

When you experience a personal injury, your life can change in multiple ways you never expected. Some injuries after an incident, such as a car accident, are apparent and require immediate medical intervention. Injuries like fractures and lacerations are visible to the eyes, and you’d obviously need to visit a medical practitioner to help treat these injuries. However, some injuries, such as whiplash, stiff neck, or even back pain, are not so apparent. Symptoms of these injuries can take days, even weeks, to appear. 

​

Why should you choose Chiropractic Care? 

There is more than one reason why you should seek chiropractic care after a personal injury accident. First, with appropriate chiropractic care and treatment, you’ll regain your full range of motion in whatever body part it is lacking. Health is paramount, and for injuries that are not visible, chiropractic is the correct way of approaching them. This is because chiropractors are trained professionals who focus on treating and correcting misalignments of the joints, which can also prevent various injuries to soft tissues. They make use of various techniques to determine which body part is injured and what is the extent of the injury. Chiropractors can even use advanced imaging techniques to get a complete picture of your injuries and develop a treatment plan suiting your specific needs.

Types of Injuries Chiropractic Care can Heal...

As mentioned, chiropractors are trained to treat injuries related to the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractic treatment is particularly beneficial in cases of misalignments resulting from a personal injury accident. Some typical injuries that chiropractic care can help heal include:

​

Whiplash: This is one of the most common types of car accident injuries. Whiplashes often result in torn ligaments and tendons followed by pain, inflammation, and stiffness of the neck. Chiropractors, with specific techniques, can help regain your range of motion without pain or stiffness and help you heal faster. 

Neck, back, and shoulder pain: Chiropractic care can help get you rid of neck, back, or shoulder pain without medication. Medicines just mask the pain for some time and do not treat the cause of the pain. Chiropractors differ here, as they treat the cause of the pain. They align the spine and other joints into their correct alignment, which helps the body to heal faster. So, if you are suffering from shoulder or any type of back, neck or joint pain after an accident, a chiropractor is a great option to help you heal and get back to every day activities sooner. 

Migraines: Sometimes neck, back, and shoulder injuries from personal injury accidents can lead to severe headaches, including migraines. Aligning your spine in its correct alignment can help relieve stress from different body parts and heal headaches such as migraines as well. ​
