Disc Injury

A disc injury involves damage to the spongy discs that cushion the vertebrae in the spine. These injuries are commonly caused by lifting heavy objects improperly, sudden trauma, or the natural aging process. Chiropractic care can help by gently adjusting the spine to reduce pressure on the discs, decrease pain, and promote healing.

Whiplash

Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs when the head is suddenly jerked backward and forward, commonly seen in car accidents or contact sports. The motion strains the muscles and ligaments in the neck. Chiropractic care can help restore normal movement, decrease inflammation, and relieve pain through gentle adjustments and therapeutic exercises.

Motor Vehicle Accident

Injuries from motor vehicle accidents include sprains, strains, soft tissue damage, and misalignments in the spine or joints. Examples of causes are sudden stops, collisions, or side impacts. Chiropractors can assess and treat these injuries, utilizing spinal adjustments and rehabilitation to promote recovery and prevent chronic pain.

Work Injury

Work injuries range from repetitive strain disorders to slips and falls or heavy lifting accidents. Causes include overuse, poor ergonomics, or acute incidents at the workplace. Chiropractic care can increase mobility, relieve musculoskeletal pain, and recommend changes or exercises to prevent future injuries.

Strain and Sprain

Strains involve overstretched muscles, while sprains affect ligaments connecting bones. These injuries can happen during physical activity, sudden twists, or accidents. Chiropractors help by realigning joints, reducing inflammation, and guiding patients on stretching and strengthening exercises to support recovery.
