If you have experienced a personal injury and are looking for a chiropractor in Buffalo, you should consider what West Buffalo Chiropractic has to offer. There are many things that people commonly wonder about personal injury issues and how chiropractic care can apply to them. Following are the answers to questions our chiropractor frequently receives regarding personal injury treatment.

What Is a Personal Injury?

The term "personal injury" applies to any type of physical damage that has occurred to a person. If you have been hurt at home, on the job, or while playing sports, this can be considered a personal injury. Falls in the kitchen, auto accident injuries, and back strain from heavy lifting at work all count as personal injuries.

What Happens If a Personal Injury Goes Untreated?

The consequences of leaving a personal injury untreated will depend on the injury. In some cases, the injury will resolve itself. In other cases, an untreated personal injury can turn into a chronic pain condition. Damaged soft tissues can heal incorrectly and produce scar tissue that makes it hard for you to move in those areas.

When Should I Seek Chiropractic Care?

If you have suffered a personal injury, you should call a chiropractor as soon as you can. In some cases, there will be a delayed onset of symptoms, meaning you can exacerbate the injury before you get it treated. Also, if you have experienced a work injury, delaying care can make it harder to get worker's compensation.

How Does a Chiropractor Treat a Personal Injury?

Our chiropractor has many techniques at his disposal when providing personal injury treatment. First, your condition will be evaluated to identify the root cause of your discomfort. Once the extent of your injuries has been determined, we will create a chiropractic care plan tailored to your needs. A series of chiropractic adjustments will relieve your pain, restore your range of motion, and improve your body’s natural ability to repair itself. We may supplement chiropractic care with other natural therapies such as acupuncture, electrical muscle stimulation, and corrective exercises.
