How A Stockbridge GA Chiropractic Office Helps Personal Injury Sufferers

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 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.

While the chiropractor is examining the client, she or he is thinking ahead to what might be the optimal way to rehabilitate her or him. Gentle adjustments might be most beneficial. A series of spinal adjustments may alleviate the pain of a slip and fall 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.
