Chiropractic Injury Recovery
Injuries aren’t a one-size-fits-all issue. They come in many forms, are caused by many factors, and impact patients in different ways. As such, treating these injuries needs to be tailored to the individual and the factors involved.
Dr. Wiese at Milton Chiropractic in Milton, GA, understands how impactful an injury can be and how critical individualized injury recovery is. He and his team share some common injuries and how chiropractic care can help.
Common Types of Injuries
Many injuries come in the form of sports, work, or auto accidents. However, it’s even more common to experience injuries caused by daily life. Posture, your sleep position, poor arch support, lifting groceries improperly, taking a tumble down the stairs of your front porch, and similar factors can all lead to injuries.
While the cause can vary, below are some of the most common injuries people sustain:
- Whiplash
- Strains and sprains
- Herniated discs
- Pinched or damaged nerves
- Misalignment of the spine
- Shoulder dislocations
- Rotator cuff injuries
And each of these injuries can lead to symptoms like chronic pain, headaches and migraines, tingling or numbness of the extremities, and tension.
Chiropractic Care for Injuries
Chiropractic care involves discovering and correcting the injury at the source, as well as addressing any contributing factors. The exact combination of techniques used depends on the specific needs of the individual, but the following are some highly effective treatment methods.
- Adjustments: Restoring alignment to bones that have shifted out of place is crucial for healing. Otherwise, the soft tissues can become damaged and scar tissue or knots can form, leading to chronic pain.
- Electrical muscle stimulation: EMS causes the muscles to contract and release, which relieves tension and muscle spasms as well as improves blood flow for enhanced healing.
- Myofascial release: Chiropractors use their hands and tools to relieve tension, knots, and scar tissue. This improves range of motion and blood flow to the area.
- Flexion-distraction: Disc issues and nerve compression can be relieved through this technique, as it gently stretches the spinal column.
- Corrective exercises: Stretching and strengthening exercises are used to relieve tight muscles, stiff ligaments, and chronic pain, as well as improve range of motion.
