MOST AUTO AND WORK INJURIES ARE CARED FOR
AT NO OUT OF POCKET COST TO THE PATIENT.
If you have been unfortunate enough to have an auto
accident, work or sport injury, you can benefit from
chiropractic care. At Dr. Jill's Chiropractic we use several
different adjusting techniques and physiotherapies to help the
worst cases get well.
Numbness
One of the most common causes of numbness is nerve
irritation from spinal subluxations. The most effective care, in
this case, is the reduction or removal of the subluxation by
gentle spinal adjustments.
Whiplash
Many chronic cases of neck and shoulder pain and severe
recurring headaches have their origin in an accident that,
unknowingly to the sufferer, was initiated by a whiplash injury
to their neck.
A whiplash type injury doesn't only occur in automobile
accidents. Whiplash injuries may occur as a result of sudden
forces to the body as in contact sports like football or soccer
and falls, direct trauma to the skull or even a sudden sneeze.
Following a whiplash injury, there will usually be a certain
amount of neck soreness and stiffness as the muscles
contract in their attempt to pull the head and spine back into
alignment. Thinking that it will "just take time for it to go away"
can be a very painful mistake for the future. Anyone sustaining
a minor whiplash injury should have his or her spine checked,
as left untreated, it could lead to early degenerative or arthritic
changes in the spine.
Danger Signs Indicating Need For A Chiropractic Examination
