A Stockbridge GA Chiropractic Office Helps Personal Injury Sufferers Through Rehabilitation

By Lonnie Trevarthen


When a chiropractor works with a client who has suffered personal injury, the cause of that injury may vary widely. There are accidents such as in the workplace or when an automobile crashes. There are defective products made without regard for the safety of those who purchase them. Someone who has been assaulted might turn to a Stockbridge Georgia Chiropractor for help.

An assault victim might have been shaken hard enough to cause a whiplash injury. These are typically the result of a car crash. She may be unable to turn her head from side to side. If her head hit a wall hard enough, she might have a concussion as well.

High school football players routinely collide with each other during a game. Anyone who is unconscious for any length of time should be examined for concussion. He should not be allowed back on the field until his condition is checked.

A factory worker may have repeatedly warned the boss about a dangerously slippery floor in the work area. If he suffers low back pain due to a fall there, the boss is considered negligent. When a homeowner buys a new ladder that collapses as he is on it, the manufacturer of that ladder is considered negligent.

While the chiropractor is examining the client, she or he is thinking ahead to what might be the optimal way to rehabilitate her or him. Gentle adjustments might be most beneficial. A series of spinal adjustments may alleviate the pain of a slip and fall injury.

The football player, who suffered a concussion, may be referred to another health care provider. Soft tissue damage can be restored over time through stretching and strength exercises. Massage is used to relax tight muscles that limit range of motion.

In addition to the in-office care that is recommended for each client, an at-home program of exercises may be designed to help each specific injury. These exercises, when done as instructed, will strengthen damaged muscle tissue. Stretching will maintain flexibility between appointments.
