Residual Pain Of Personal Injury With A Chiropractor In Stockbridge GA

By Erik Heidrick


A fall at work may have caused you to injure your back. Alternatively, clearing out items from the garage may have caused you to lift something heavy. Maybe you took an ibuprofen in the hopes that the aches would vanish but to no avail. Chronic pain as a result of a personal injury may not always be responsive to therapy of a traditional nature, and drugs like painkillers can form addictions that are very undesirable. Also, when you may venture to think that you have finished healing, pain may linger.

Types of Pain

Nociceptive pain comes after injury to ligaments, muscles or tendons when those nerve cells that have not been damaged are sending false signals of pain to the spine and the brains. This causes deeper pain like headaches, arthritis, chronic back pain and fibromyalgia. Neuropathic pain is another type of pain that comes from nerve damage or nerve function. This happens due to injury to the spinal cord and is really difficult to pinpoint.

Adjustments of Chiropractic Nature

Chiropractic care can be a safe alternative to drug therapies when it comes to lingering pain from personal injury at home or work. In particular, spinal manipulation can help patients recover and get their lives back. If you have had a recent injury and are still suffering pain after the healing process has completed, chiropractic care can help you. This is especially true if the accident was less than one year ago.

Manipulating the spine manually provides relief temporarily for chronic pain of the spine. A chiropractor can also assist with determining the exact pain source in other areas of your body, and be able to suggest further adjustment and exercise options. Spine magazine says that 1.5% of those working with injury to the back first visiting a chiropractor needed surgery, in comparison to 42.7% who consulted firstly with a surgeon.

Cervical manipulation can help with particular headaches and pain in the neck. Neck adjustments are good for motion and flexibility. Increased neck motion and reduced neck spasms will take away some pain as well as tension.
