Discover How A Kent WA Chiropractor Alleviates Personal Injury Pain

By Nelson Clodfelter


Pain will have a damaging impact on the individual who is hurting. Sometimes pain is a natural part of the aging process. Other times it is due to carelessness. However, Kent chiropractic sees many people walk through their door because one individual has caused a situation that resulted in a serious personal injury.

Perhaps someone failed to stop at an intersection and crashed into your car. A rear end collision, even at a low speed, can cause a very painful whiplash injury. Perhaps a surgeon was inattentive and caused harm. Or, during a fight, someone pushed you down and hurt your back.

You may want to see an attorney to take legal action against whoever hurt you. The medical record a chiropractor keeps detailing your care will be helpful if you do. The care, although successful at alleviating the pain, cannot erase the hurt and stress you have endured.

Making an appointment with a chiropractor is the first step towards pain alleviation. Together you will discuss all aspects of your injury. Explain when and why it started. You will undergo an examination. The primary focus of chiropractic care is the spine and central nervous system.

Damage to the back can affect any part of the body as all the nerve roots are located in the spinal cord. Your pain will be traced back to an injury to one or more of the vertebrae that encase the delicate spinal cord. For example, in a case of whiplash, the cervical vertebrae located in the neck, will be subluxated. This is the term used for a misalignment.

After your condition is thoroughly evaluated, your care can be planned. Usually, spinal adjustments are recommended to correct any misalignment of the vertebrae. The traditional method is done by delivering a series of thrusting motions while the body is in various positions. Spinal mobilization is another method. In some cases, both are used in combination during each appointment. The goal is to alleviate the pain you are feeling.
