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.

chest injuries from car accident leads to spinal pain

Chest Injuries from a Car Accident Can be Related to Spinal Trauma

Common chest injuries from a car accident are soreness, pain, and bruising, typically from a seatbelt. However, the chest pain some experience are the result of severe injury, like fractured ribs, require different treatment.

The rib cage is a part of the musculoskeletal system. It connects to the spine. Our accident and injury clinic in Plano is a sensible choice to ensure your spine is properly aligned, relieving muscle tension that may be causing your symptoms. 

Symptoms of Upper Back and Chest Pain

If a spinal column is misaligned, it could create a variety of symptoms that radiate around to the chest. Some of these symptoms include:

  • A sharp, almost shock-like pain
  • Dull achiness that felt in the chest, upper back, or even the shoulder
  • Noticeable pain when trying to take a breath
  • Tingling feeling in the chest
  • Rib pain
  • Stiffness
  • Fullness or pressure feeling in the chest

Treatment With Chiropractic

Chiropractic care involves more than just “cracking bones.” In fact, we don’t crack bones at all. However, what we do is adjust joints. Adjusting joints into proper alignment allows the patient’s body can function as designed. Our skilled chiropractors have decades of experience treating chest injuries related to car accidents. Many of these injuries are found to coincide with issues related to the spinal cord. Through a series of treatments (that may include gentle manipulations, ultrasound, hot/cold modalities, electrical stimulation, or traction) it is possible to get relief from your chest injury. Not all chest injuries (or bodies) are the same. After an initial evaluation at our accident and injury clinic in Plano, we’ll provide you with a diagnosis and a treatment plan specially designed to relieve your pain and discomfort.
