Arm & Leg Injury Pain Relief with Chiropractic

As discussed in the second blog of this series, soft tissue injuries  can effect tendons, ligaments, muscles, skin, blood vessels, fat, and connective tissues. Many of the patients we treat in our injury and auto accident clinic in Frisco, have found relief from their arm and leg injury pain with chiropractic treatment and modalities.

Types of Injuries

A car accident, whether minor or severe, can affect your body in many ways. Pain can be immediate, or it may be subtle. Sometimes the pain gradually increases over time. Other times it wanes and then gets worse again. Some common arm and leg injuries we have seen in our clinic include the following:

  • Shoulder impingement 
  • Joint dislocation of shoulder or elbow
  • Strains or sprains of the shoulder muscles
  • Patella (knee cap) compression or dislocation 
  • Damaged cartilage in your knee

No matter the severity or how fast it appears, we all want pain relief.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

As an accident and injury clinic in Frisco, we’ve seen a variety of complex injuries. No matter the injury, it’s important that a trained and licensed professional, experienced in providing arm and leg injury pain relief, evaluates you. A comprehensive evaluation is the best way to determine the source of your pain.

After the evaluation, a treatment plan will be designed specifically for the patient and their injury. We offer comprehensive treatment for pain relief. For example, ultrasound therapy helps with relaxing muscles and decreasing muscle spasms. Electrical stimulation enhances your body’s natural pain relief process. A gentle manipulation helps realign your joints. Hot packs increase oxygen in muscles which helps heal damaged tissue. Cold packs are useful in decreasing inflammation (swelling) in the tissues and reducing your pain.

How Chiropractic Provides Relief from Soft Tissue Injuries

As discussed in the previous blog, some common injuries related to car accidents. This article will look at the types of soft tissue injuries we typically see here at our accident and injury clinic in Richardson. 

Defining Soft Tissue Injury

A soft tissue injury is damage to the soft tissues of your body and not your bones. This includes ligaments, tendons, skin, muscles, connective tissue, fat, and blood vessels. For example, a bruise, a contusion, or a sprain would be classified as a soft tissue injury. The severity of these injuries varies from a simple bruising to a serious contusion that could require medical treatment.

Common Injuries and Symptoms

As an accident and injury clinic in Richardson, we see sprains, strains, lacerations, contusions, joint impingements, and tears of ligaments, especially in the shoulders and knees.

  1. Sprains and strains typically happen from your body moving forcefully and quickly. You may feel tenderness, stiffness, soreness, reduced range of motion, and swelling. 
  2. Blunt trauma inevitably results in a contusion or bruising. When blood vessels are hit with enough force to cause them to break, bruising develops. 
  3. Impingement occurs when the tendons surrounding a joint are swollen, thus restricting movement. This often results in both pain and weakness.
  4. Torn ligaments, especially in the knees, are among the most common soft tissues injuries.  Possible signs of a torn ligament in the knee are swelling, instability in your leg, or stiffness.
  5. As an accident and injury clinic in Richardson we can diagnose your injury and prescribe treatment plan that caters to you and your goals.

How IRC Physical Therapy and Chiropractic Can Help
