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.

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 man working in a manufacturing plant might have lower back pain because he fell on a dangerously slippery floor. A homeowner might have similar pain because he fell when a faulty ladder collapsed while he was painting a ceiling. These are both preventable accidents.

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.

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.

In addition to the in-office care that is recommended for each client, an at-home program of exercises may be designed to help each specific injury. These exercises, when done as instructed, will strengthen damaged muscle tissue. Stretching will maintain flexibility between appointments.
