Hinsdale Personal Injury and Car Accident Injury Relief

A car accident or personal injury can have a serious traumatic impact on the body. Even if you only appear to have a few bruises or scrapes on the surface, significant damage may have been done to your musculoskeletal system. Hinsdale personal injury and car accident patients choose Fisher Chiropractic and Integrative Health because of our comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating these injuries. Our Hinsdale chiropractic team provides long-lasting pain relief through patient-proven treatments without dependency on prescription painkillers or risky, invasive surgery.

Chiropractor Treats Hinsdale Back Pain, Neck Pain and Headaches

Whiplash is one of the most common car accident injuries. This injury occurs when the force of the car accident’s impact “whips” the neck backwards and forwards. This abrupt movement knocks the cervical spine out of alignment and strains soft tissues and muscles in the neck or can tear ligaments. Patients may experience chronic neck pain, headaches and difficulty concentrating. While medication can temporarily relieve this pain, drugs cannot correct the underlying cause. Chiropractic adjustment is a safe and non-invasive treatment that gently restores alignment to the cervical spine, relieving pain. Fisher Chiropractic has the technology to diagnose where you are out of alignment and if there is ligament damage, which is often missed through conventional static (non-moving) x-ray and MRI.

Car Accident Injury Hinsdale

Many car accident victims suffer from a herniated disc, and more commonly torn ligaments. A seat belt restraint, while an important safety feature, can prevent the pelvis from moving in response to a crash impact, which can cause a herniated disc. A herniated disc is one that is no longer in alignment with the spine. When this disc slips out of alignment, it may compress nearby nerves, causing pain. Adjustments can safely restore the herniated disc to proper alignment with the spine, relieving pressure on nerves and providing long-lasting relief for chronic back pain. By detecting where ligaments are lax or torn, we know where to adjust and where to rehab and strengthen areas of instability.  If these ligaments aren’t properly rehabbed they succumb to the 3 P’s: they become permanent, painful and progressive. 

If you are the victim of a car accident, we encourage you to seek immediate treatment from a chiropractor. In many cases, patients do not experience signs of a serious problem until weeks or even months after the accident. The faster we diagnose an injury, the faster we can provide proper care and prevent the build-up of scar tissue, which exacerbates pain. Prompt diagnosis also allows our chiropractor to work closely with injury attorneys to ensure you receive the full compensation to which you are entitled.

We also are fully experienced helping patients recover from personal injuries. A personal injury may occur in the workplace, at home, or when playing sports. In the workplace, something as simple as a wobbly chair, a wet floor or a missing step can lead to a slip or fall that results in trauma to the musculoskeletal system. Improperly lifting a heavy object at home or a repetitive injury from playing tennis, golf or another sport can also lead to significant pain. Chiropractic adjustments can help you safely recover from common personal injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome, back muscle strain, head trauma and tennis elbow. With every personal injury, we focus on identifying and correcting the underlying problem so we can provide our Hinsdale patients with long-lasting pain relief.

In addition to chiropractic adjustments, we offer complementary therapies for personal injuries that include massage therapy, acupuncture and physical therapy. We find that a comprehensive approach to wellness provides the best results for our patients and speeds recovery time.

Massage Therapy treatments naturally promote healing while relaxing the muscles and releasing tension. Acupuncture also provides targeted pain relief and promotes internal healing by stimulating pressure points in the body. If you are sore or stiff following a personal injury, physical therapy can help you regain a full range of movement and flexibility in your body. If your personal injury is due to a workplace injury, we will closely with your worker's compensation attorneys to ensure that you receive full compensation for your injuries and do not have to pay treatment costs.
