Iowa City Personal Injuries and Back Pain Treated by Our Chiropractor

Personal injuries can occur practically anywhere in or out of Iowa City, and at any time, and they need not involve a second party. Take whiplash, for example. We commonly think of whiplash in association with auto accidents, but in fact any sudden trauma that causes the head to rock violently back and forth can dislodge vertebrae, causing the neck pain characteristic of the condition.

Migraines, Headaches, Slipped Disc, Sciatica, and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Misaligned vertebrae in the neck can also cause migraines or other types of headaches. Any sudden jolts to the spinal column can cause a slipped disc, resulting in crippling back pain as the vertebrae fall out of alignment and press painfully against nerves. When this nerve pressure affects the sciatic nerve, you may experience the shooting back and leg pains, tingling or numbness associated with sciatica. A spill from a ladder, a leap that lands badly, or improper lifting of heavy objects can all cause a personal injury.

Some kinds of personal injury arise from more subtle situations, such as occupational strain or overwork over a long period of time. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, for instance, occurs when the nerves that run along the hand and wrist bones become impinged after countless hours typing or filing. Fibromyalgia, a hard-to-diagnose syndrome featuring chronic nerve inflammation, can cause general pain or stiffness at several points throughout the body, as well as ongoing fatigue and difficulty sleeping.

Why Chiropractic Treatment Is the Answer For Personal Injury

You might be surprised at how many of your Iowa City friends, neighbors and co-workers have suffered from some form of personal injury. But whether you are coping with sciatica, neck pain, back pain from a slipped disc, migraines or other headaches, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, or other complaints, chiropractic adjustment administered by a skilled, experienced chiropractor can help you recover faster from your personal injury.

Our chiropractor, Dr. Kyle R. Thompson, can pinpoint the spinal misalignment causing the trouble and perform precise physical manipulations to guide the bones back into place, un-pinching the nerves, and relieving pain. Some of these conditions respond immediately to manipulation of specific points.

Neck pain cases make good candidates for chiropractic adjustments to upper cervical spine, as do migraines and other headaches. Sciatica patients can experience prompt relief from adjustments to their lumbar spine. Even in cases where the pain seems more diffuse, such as the general discomfort of fibromyalgia, a series of simple alignments by a chiropractor can yield dramatic results when dealing with personal injury.
