Because chiropractic deals directly with the spine and the soft tissue that surrounds that area, it is the perfect choice in dealing with all types of back injuries.
The practice of spinal manipulation has been around for hundreds of years and with today's ever-progressing technology in the area of injury related pain, now is the best time to consult a highly qualified chiropractor in your area. Even if you have tried conventional western medicine with no lasting results, there is hope out there to relieve your pain and regain the quality of life you once had before you sustained your spinal injury. Look at the list of following injuries, and if you fit into any of them, a chiropractic doctor is your best choice for relief.
Auto Accident Injuries
Millions of people every year are involved in automobile accidents that result in sever spinal and neck injuries. The most common being whiplash. Whiplash is when the vertebrate and muscles in the neck are overextended both forwards and backwards in a very quick motion. This commonly occurs in rear-end collisions and is the number one reason why people sue.
The symptoms of whiplash can vary from ringing in the ears, to dizziness, to vision problems and may not show up for days or weeks after the accident. A chiropractor is extensively schooled on what to look for when it comes to whiplash and can treat it very effectively. A combination of adjustments and massage to get everything back in line and loosened up will be the protocol of this injury; which are all done with no pain, no needles, no medications, and in a 100% non-invasive fashion.
Sports Injury
There are hundreds of athletes out there -- both professional and recreational-- that suffer from sports related injuries every year. These injuries can bring even the most conditioned athlete to his knees in a matter of seconds and keep him there under the crushing pain. He or she may be suffering from a herniated disc that is pushing on nerve endings in the spine.
Depending on the location of the herniated disc, the injured athlete could be suffering from such symptoms as a burning sensation running down their back, shooting pains in the legs, muscle spasms, or even weakness and fatigue. Since athletes cannot allow themselves too much downtime, a chiropractor is an excellent choice for recovering from this type of injury. Today's state-of-the-art traction devices are used in chiropractic offices every day and exert a slow, even pulling on the spine in two directions in order to stretch the vertebrate apart and allowing the disc to reoccupy its previous location.
The chiropractor will advise the athlete to get regular massages and may even recommend progressive rehabilitation to keep the injured area strong and healthy so the same injury does not reoccur.
On the Job Injuries
These injuries are extremely common and can really affect an employee's ability to make a living and not have to live in constant pain. Not surprisingly, whiplash and herniated or bulging discs commonly fall into this injury category and can be treated in the same fashion as auto accident victims and injured athletes.
