Personal injury chiropractors can help patients recover from auto accidents, construction accidents, workplace injuries, and sports injuries, among others. It is common for these incidents to have a delayed effect, especially where nerve or spinal cord injuries are concerned. Fortunately, chiropractors can assist in treating conditions regardless of whether they have a sudden or delayed onset.
The term personal injury refers to legal claims over incidents that caused bodily harm to an individual. As such, a personal injury chiropractor is a healthcare provider who helps patients heal from these incidents. The most common examples are auto accidents, slips and falls, sports injuries, and workplace accidents because each can result in nerve and spinal cord injuries. A chiropractor can realign the spine and decompress nerves, helping the patient make a lasting recovery.
A personal injury chiropractor can help treat a variety of health conditions. Their treatment approach focuses on relieving symptoms and the overall impact of the underlying cause, such as:
However, a chiropractor will not be the patient’s sole healthcare provider. Rather, personal injury chiropractors work in collaboration with general physicians and other healthcare providers. The chiropractor focuses on realigning the spine or addressing nerve compression to restore mobility and relieve pain, not diagnosing health conditions.
Patients do not have to have a specific diagnosis to benefit from chiropractic care. A personal injury chiropractor can help relieve uncomfortable symptoms after an incident through chiropractic adjustments, exercises, stretches, and other treatments.
Here are some of the most common symptoms and signs that it may be time to consult a personal injury chiropractor:
A patient may notice differences in their mobility following a personal injury accident. For example, they may have trouble reaching high up for items, bending down to tie their shoes, or doing chores around the house. According to Healthline, this reduced range of motion is often linked to issues with the spine, muscles, or joints.
After a personal injury accident, patients often report joint or muscle pain around the injured area. A common example is a lifting injury at work that results in debilitating lower back pain. Chiropractors can offer a solution to joint, muscle, and back pain that lasts longer than the short-term effects of aspirin.
Nerve compression can cause issues with circulation. Herniated discs tend to be common among personal injury victims. Patients may find that their arms, hands, legs, or feet start to fall asleep more often.
A personal injury accident can result in headaches. For instance, whiplash from an auto accident can cause frequent headaches, as can a concussion from a fall or sports injury. A chiropractor may help resolve both by relieving tension in the neck and improving circulation.
