Personal Injury

In most cases, people see their family physician or a general practitioner to treat auto accident injuries or other personal injuries. However, seeing a chiropractor for a personal injury provides patients with many benefits, including faster healing and drug-free pain management. The chiropractic care team at First Coast Medical Center in Jacksonville, FL, can help treat your personal injury, create reports for third parties, such as an attorney, and provide you with a safe, non-invasive treatment plan.

Common Personal Injuries

Auto accidents, including whiplash and other musculoskeletal damage, cause the most common personal injury. Other common personal injuries include slips and falls, work injuries, and other accidents. 

Can a Chiropractor Help with a Personal Injury?

Though many believe chiropractors only treat neck and back pain, they can treat all types of injuries, including personal injury. So whether it was an auto accident or a slip and fall, chiropractic care provides non-invasive, non-addictive treatment options for your injury and pain management needs. 

Before starting treatment, a chiropractor will conduct a physical exam and may order diagnostic imaging tests, including X-rays and CT scans, to determine the root cause of the discomfort or injury. Once the chiropractor knows what is causing the pain, they will treat the cause using various chiropractic treatment options. Seeing a chiropractor provides a pain management treatment plan that does not mask symptoms but focuses on treating the cause of the symptoms. 

Chiropractic Treatments for Personal Injuries

Chiropractors can offer various treatments for personal injury pain and damage symptoms. First, the chiropractors determine the root cause of the pain and help develop a drug-free pain management treatment plan. Chiropractic care also helps restore mobility and help the body rebuild and regain strength. 

Standard techniques used by a chiropractor include spinal adjustments, massage therapy, physical therapy, acupuncture, and cold laser treatments. These treatments can be used individually, or multiple treatments can be used together to provide ultimate chiropractic care and personal injury treatment.
