A personal injury chiropractor is a special type of chiropractor that cares for patients who have injuries. While chiropractic care can help with issues ranging from poor posture to chronic pain, you need a chiropractor experienced with treating personal injuries like the ones described below.  Westmoreland Chiropractic & Rehab Associates, with convenient locations in Export and Greensburg, PA, is here to help.

Pulled Muscles

Pulled muscles can be caused by overworking at the gym, moving heavy equipment, or even just falling asleep in the wrong position. Most commonly, these types of injuries happen on job sites and during DIY projects. Fortunately, a chiropractor can help.

A chiropractor will start by identifying which muscles are injured, then adjusting the spine, so there is less pressure on these muscle groups and more room for the muscle to stretch and relax. Many patients report pain relief from this type of injury by the end of their first visit to a chiropractor’s office. Over subsequent sessions, pain relief will last for longer periods.

Whiplash

Whiplash is a form of pulled muscles that is concentrated in the neck. This type of injury is most commonly associated with car accidents, but it’s possible to get this from any activity where a lot of sudden force has been placed on the neck.

A chiropractor will typically take X-rays to check for signs of other types of damage before making this diagnosis. Once diagnosed, treatment usually involves a series of adjustments to correct the positioning of the upper vertebrae.
