Discover How A Kent WA Chiropractor Alleviates Personal Injury Pain

By Nelson Clodfelter


Pain will have a damaging impact on the individual who is hurting. Sometimes pain is a natural part of the aging process. Other times it is due to carelessness. However, Kent chiropractic sees many people walk through their door because one individual has caused a situation that resulted in a serious personal injury.

Perhaps someone failed to stop at an intersection and crashed into your car. A rear end collision, even at a low speed, can cause a very painful whiplash injury. Perhaps a surgeon was inattentive and caused harm. Or, during a fight, someone pushed you down and hurt your back.

Legal action may be taken against the person who caused a personal injury. For that reason, the medical record kept by the chiropractor may be used to document the care that is necessary to relieve pain. A full or partial recovery does not negate the pain and suffering caused by the incident.

A chiropractic appointment begins with a discussion of what caused your pain in the first place. You will be asked to describe how it feels and how it impacts your life. You are examined and an x-ray may be taken. The chiropractor focuses on spinal care and rehabilitation to achieve pain relief.

Damage to the back can affect any part of the body as all the nerve roots are located in the spinal cord. Your pain will be traced back to an injury to one or more of the vertebrae that encase the delicate spinal cord. For example, in a case of whiplash, the cervical vertebrae located in the neck, will be subluxated. This is the term used for a misalignment.

After your condition is evaluated, the chiropractor will recommend a plan for your care. One method used frequently is a series of spinal adjustments to correct a subluxation. These are done in the traditional way by exerting a thrusting motion to a specific place on the spine. Some clients respond better to spinal mobilization. A combination of the two has also been successful at correcting a subluxation, which alleviates the pain.
