How A Stockbridge GA Chiropractic Office Helps Personal Injury Sufferers

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.

That victim could have been shaken severely and suffered a whiplash injury. These are most often seen after an automobile accident. If her head was struck against a hard surface, she may have a concussion without realizing it.

Boys are frequently hurt when colliding on with each other while playing football. The boy might want to continue playing. However, any period of unconsciousness, no matter how brief, needs to be seen by a professional. Coaches now refuse to let such a victim return to the game until that has been done.

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.

During the initial examination, the chiropractor is already anticipating what can be done to best facilitate rehabilitation. In the case of the stiff neck resulting from being shaken, gentle adjustment of the joints may reposition them to allow for normal movement. Low back pain is also alleviated by applying manual adjustments.

Any high schooler on the football team who reports having been unconscious, is referred to another professional care provider. Any soft tissue damage is restored over time using stretches and strengthening exercises. Tight muscles respond well to massage.

The in-office care is often augmented by a program of exercises to be performed at home between appointments. These are tailored to suit each individual client. They may hasten the recovery when done as instructed. The damaged muscle tissue will be strengthened and flexibility will be maintained from one office visit to the next.
