Chiropractic adjustments are non-invasive, drug-free ways to treat many injuries resulting from a workplace or auto accident.  During a chiropractic procedure, a trained specialists use their hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled, sudden force to a spinal joint. The goal of this procedure is to improve spinal motion and reduce pain. Chiropractic adjustments can allow you to potentially avoid more invasive medical procedures and return to work as soon as possible.  The following are a few benefits of chiropractic adjustments and situations when they may be helpful.

Neck and Back Pain

An adjustment from a chiropractor can significantly reduce your back and neck pain via this non-invasive technique. It is often chosen when other back pain management methods either don’t work or are more invasive and potentially dangerous.

Sciatica

Sciatica pain is caused by a pinched nerve or herniated disc that may have occurred during a workplace injury or auto accident. This type of injury can lead to over-medicating and chronic pain. A chiropractic adjustment can help to realign your spine, taking the pressure off the pinched nerve. Studies have shown that sciatica patients receiving chiropractic adjustments reduced the number of days they experienced pain and the severity of that pain.

Headaches and Migraines

Both headaches and migraine headaches can be caused by back pain and spinal issues. You may not think headaches or migraines could be a result of a workplace injury or auto accident, but they can be symptoms of spinal injuries. Back misalignment can also cause muscle tension and pain, resulting in both tension and migraine headaches. If you start to have headaches or migraines more frequently after an auto accident or workplace injury, chiropractic adjustments may be a treatment option.

Reduce Inflammation

Inflammation is a significant cause of pain, joint issues, and tension. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to help reduce inflammation, which can help lower back pain, muscle tension, joint pain, and more that may result from a workers comp related injury or an auto accident.

Frozen shoulder

For those with frozen shoulder syndrome, which is stiffness or pain in the shoulder, chiropractic treatment is an option that can be helpful. There are many causes of frozen shoulder, making it difficult or impossible to return to work after an injury or accident. Chiropractic treatment can help patients with frozen shoulder reduce pain and improve flexibility.
