Common Personal Injuries Chiropractors Can Help With 

You probably have incurred personal injuries in the past. Accidents such as falling, tripping, and being hit by something cause cuts, inflammation, and bruising. Fortunately, a chiropractor can help diagnose and treat personal injuries—even the hidden ones. Here are more chiropractic benefits.

Hidden Injuries

Some personal injuries are hidden and can be easily overlooked. Fractures, bruises, swellings, and cuts are visible. However, an injury such as a sprained spine is less easy to detect and can lead to other problems such as headaches, back pain, and a reduced range of motion. A chiropractor can help diagnose the problem and correct hidden issues that may cause further problems if left untreated.

Non-Invasive Chiropractic Adjustment

You should consult a chiropractor after getting injured. Broken and twisted bones can exacerbate a simple injury, sometimes requiring a surgical operation. Medical surgery is expensive and tag along with other risks such as excessive bleeding, risk of infection, and disabilities. Our chiropractors are well versed in non-invasive adjustment techniques. A significant number of people can be saved from long and costly surgical procedures through simple chiropractic techniques.

Reduce Inflammation

Ligaments and muscles hold bones and joints in place and aid movements. Ligament strains are among the most overlooked types of injuries as they are not easily detected through physical examination or x-ray. Our chiropractor can help detect and treat torn ligaments and other micro-tears, effectively relieving stiffness, pain, and inflammation.

Drug-Free Pain Relief

Chiropractic medicine can help relieve your pain without taking painkillers. Typical over-the-counter pain relief tablets are formulated to mask the pain instead of addressing the underlying cause. When there is an injury, pain receptor cells send a signal to the brain through the nervous system. The brain responds with pain, and painkillers interrupt these signals. Some of these painkillers, especially opioids, are addictive.

Faster Recovery

Serious injuries leave significant scar tissue, which may limit your movement, among other things. Chiropractic care help relieves discomfort related to scar tissue. Our chiropractor will assess your musculoskeletal system to identify the root cause of your pain and immobility. We will use this information to create a chiropractic care plan tailored to your needs. Over time, chiropractic adjustments will reduce your pain, improve your range of motion, and enhance your body’s natural ability to repair itself.
