A Stockbridge GA Chiropractic Office Helps Personal Injury Sufferers Through Rehabilitation

By Lonnie Trevarthen


A new client may seek chiropractic care after suffering a personal injury through another persons negligence or intent. Causative factors range from workplace accidents to being hit in a car by a drunken driver. Defective products may be sold even if the manufacturer knows they are unsafe. Any one of these victims can be helped by a Stockbridge Georgia Chiropractor.

A woman may be shaken violently during an assault. She may suffer a whiplash injury to the neck. Typically, these are the result of a car accident. It may be impossible for her to turn her head. If her head hit something, she could have a slight concussion.

A high school boy might have collided with another player on the football field. If he was unconscious, even for minutes, he may have a concussion. Coaches are now aware of the danger of allowing him to return to the game, even if he claims to feel fine.

A manufacturing plant may have a hazardous slippery floor that workers have been complaining about. If one of them suffers lower back pain due to a slip and fall, that is attributable to the plant owners negligence. A homeowner might fall when a defective ladder he purchased breaks. That is due to negligence of the manufacturer of that ladder.

As your chiropractor makes the initial examination, he is already formulating a plan as to what care will further your rehabilitation. If your neck is stiff, gently adjusting the joints can loosen them and restore normal movement. Spinal adjustments applied over time will alleviate the agony of a low back 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.

Between office appointments the client is asked to follow a program of exercise tailored to his specific needs. When done as instructed, these exercises will maintain flexibility between office visits. They will also strengthen the muscle tissue that has been damaged.
