This is the season of the year that brings special time with loved ones, but it’s also a time when many un-merry mishaps and accidents can happen. From neck and back pain to sprains and strains to serious fractures that can put you in the emergency room. With a little care, preparation and precaution, you can be safe and enjoy the holidays to the fullest, while reducing the risk of experiencing a slip and fall injury. The Garage This is where holiday prep, go for tools and the like usually begin. However, the garage can be the first place where danger lurks during this season. - Most of us store the big boxes at the top on overhead storage racks etc. A wobbly step ladder, not enough upper body strength, someone opening the door where the ladder stands and tipping it, etc, is a perfect setup for a fall.
- The first thing to ask is whether or not this is a job for you? If not then wait and ask for help from friends and family that can offer added strength and balance.
- Plan ahead and prepare ahead so that repacking the decorations, lights, and so on will be a clean safe process.
- Proper footwear that can grip a stable step ladder is a must.
Around the Tree Anything can happen around the tree, ornaments fall and break, wire from the lights shorts out, trip and fall around it. - Just be aware of your surroundings and maybe keep a safe perimeter around the tree so nobody trips, slips and falls around it.
- Focus on stability on a ladder if you have to add, adjust, the tree/ornaments, lights and what have you.
- If the tree starts to lean, make sure reinforcements are there just in case when you're ready to straighten it out.
Maybe Get Off the Floor Wrapping gifts on the floor doesn't pose the greatest risk for a spine injury, but it can increase chances for a muscle strain and sore back and neck. Hours just hunched over on the floor is a sure-fire set up for back pain. - Again plan ahead and knock out the trimmings and trappings little by little so there is plenty left in the tank when it's time for the main event.
- Maybe set up the wrapping station at a table and sit for a bit, stand for a bit, take plenty of breaks, and move around and stretch out.
- Sitting in a chair will help posture and prevent slouching.
On the House As a spine injury specialist, I can tell you falls from the roof while hanging lights are real, and can be life-changing. From severe spine injuries to paralyzing fractures. Safe Equipment is of the utmost importance! - Make sure the ladder you’re using is sturdy and on solid ground.
- Only hang the lights from the eaves, so you can stand on a ladder.
- Maybe think about using one of those projection kits that project various displays onto your house without the risk of injury.
No matter how you choose to decorate and entertain this holiday season, safety is priority one. From our team here at Injury Medical and Chiropractic Clinic Happy Holidays! NCBI Resources The connective tissues in and around the spine can get: Small tears in the disc can also contribute to back pain. Basically, any number of activity and non-activity can cause damage to the spinal discs depending on the movement. Manual tasks performed in an awkward posture This includes: - Lifting boxes with the back and not bending the knees
- Lifting something too heavy
- Moderate physical activity
- Vigorous physical activity
High intense strength training, long walks at the stores, handling people or animals, and picking up children can cause injury.
A Burst Fracture A burst fracture describes an injury to the spine where the vertebrae get compressed severely. These types of injuries occur from severe trauma, like an automobile accident or a serious fall, sports injury, work injury. These injuries entail a great deal of force into the spine, so much so that a vertebra can get crushed. When crushed in the front of the spine, a wedge-shaped fracture occurs and is known as a compression fracture. But if the vertebral body gets crushed in all directions this is known as a burst fracture. The term burst means that the vertebral body spreads out in all directions. Severe Injury This is a much more severe injury than a compression fracture. With the bones crushed and possible rough jagged edges, if they spread out the spinal cord has a high probability of being injured. The fragments can bruise the spinal cord causing paralysis or partial neurologic injury. The spine becomes far less stable than from a compression fracture. Nerve Injury Neurologic injuries from a burst fracture can range from no injury to paralysis. This depends on the amount of force present at the time of the injury and how much the spinal canal is compromised. - A greater amount of force equals more bony fragments that can be forced into the spinal canal and cause higher loss of spinal cord function.
This can cause loss of: - Strength
- Sensation
- Reflexes below the injury
With an incomplete spinal cord injury, partial paralysis or partial reflex loss occurs. With a mild burst fracture, only short-term symptoms could be present and no neurologic injury. Intense Pain Burst fractures can cause intense pain and the pain is right where the trauma took place. But pain can also present in the legs and feet depending on how the spinal nerves were affected, shifted or pinched. Patients complain of an electric tingling or shooting type sensation in their legs with spinal cord compression. With a burst fracture, individuals are unable to walk right after the trauma. But the pain percentage present is severe enough that they know not to try and walk. Diagnosis If at the sight of the accident the patient says that they have severe back pain should not be in a seated flexed position. They need to be kept lying flat and transported in a flat position. If they stand or sit with a burst fracture, it can increase the possibility of a neurologic injury. Burst fractures require immediate medical attention from an orthopedic or neurosurgeon. The patient is taken to an emergency room and x-rays, CT scans are gathered. The diagnosis of a burst fracture is typically made with x-rays and a CT scan. Sometimes, an MRI will be ordered to assess the amount of: - Soft tissue trauma
- Bleeding
- Ligament injury
The CT scan and x-rays allow the doctor to determine the level of the fracture, and if it is a: - Compression fracture
- Burst fracture
- Fracture-dislocation
This will determine how much the spinal canal has been compromised and if its angulation or angle has taken an abnormal bend or curve. These factors all contribute to the development of an optimal treatment plan. The physical exam will document: - Spinal deformity and Angulation of the spine
- Tenderness of the spine where the fracture is located
- Neurologic exam
Neurologic exam should include testing: - Muscle strength
- Sensation
- Reflexes of the lower extremities
- Testing of bowel and bladder control
Treatment & Recovery A stable burst fracture can be treated without surgery. A stable burst fracture falls into these parameters: - There is no neurologic injury
- The angulation is less than 20 degrees
- The amount of spinal canal compromise is less than 50%
With this type of treatment, a brace along with physical therapy/chiropractic can have excellent results. A turtle or clamshell brace TLSO (Thoracic Lumbar Sacral Orthosis) is a body cast used in the treatment of a burst fracture. The brace is worn for eight to twelve weeks for adequate and optimal healing. There are times when a fracture thought stable and treated can start to angulate. This may require surgery. However, all burst fractures require some form of treatment. Recovery - Nonsurgical treatment patients stay in the hospital for one or two days while their brace is fit.
- X-rays are done in the standing position to make sure the spine stays stable.
- Pain medications are prescribed for three to four weeks
- Non-narcotic medications can begin after the final week
When the brace is removed, physical therapy and chiropractic are instituted to help return strength to the core and lower extremities. Surgical patients will remain in the hospital for three to five days. - They will be fitted with a brace after the incisions present less pain and are recovered from the surgery.
- They can walk within one or two days with the help of a physical therapist.
- X-rays are taken to follow the position of the spine and see how the healing is progressing.
- Chiropractic/Physical therapy is implemented to help with core strength and lower extremity strength.
Recovery time depends on the severity of the neurologic injury. - Patients that don't have a neurologic injury can make a full recovery with return to most activities.
- Patients with partial neurological injuries can also expect to fully recover.
- Unfortunately, with permanent neurologic injury, recovery can be limited.
But treatment for burst fractures today is superior to what they were years ago, especially with spine specialists and specific spinal procedures. Chiropractic Rehab Chiropractic is not a treatment for fractures but is a treatment for subluxations and rehabilitation with these types of fractures. Once a fracture has stabilized and healed properly, a chiropractic evaluation can rule out any lingering subluxation, herniation, and joint restriction. The adjustments are safe and effective in establishing optimal function to a subluxated joint. We focus on what works for you. We also strive to create fitness and better the body through researched methods and total wellness programs. These programs are natural and use the body’s own ability to achieve goals of improvement.
Low back pain is one of the most common ailments for people visiting a doctor or an urgent care clinic. When the back pain becomes intense it can get you thinking something is seriously wrong with your back. The doctor might offer an x-ray or MRI scan to put your concerns at ease. Fortunately, most cases for low back pain even acute pain improve within days or a few weeks. Most cases are remedied with chiropractic, physical therapy, heat/ice therapy and rest. And a lot of these cases do not require any form of spinal imaging. However, there are those reasons when X-ray, MRI, CT scans are necessary to figure out what's going on. - Strained muscle
- Sprained ligament
- Poor posture
These are typical causes of low back pain that can be painful and limit activities. Back Pain Lasting Longer Than 2/3 Weeks Subacute pain lasts between 4 and 12 weeks while chronic back pain lasts 3 months or longer. These are not indications of a serious low spinal condition. Less than 1% of people with low back pain are diagnosed with a condition that may require spine surgery like: X-rays or MRI's for Diagnosing Low Back Pain Doctors may recommend an x-ray or MRI if the low back pain was from a traumatic injury, like a: - Slip
- Fall
- Automobile accident
Other potential causes of low back pain may warrant medical imaging immediately or later on. The diagnostic process starts with the evaluation of the low back symptoms and how they relate to what was found during the: - Physical exam
- Neurological exam
- Medical history
A doctor utilizes these results to figure out whether the need for spinal imaging is necessary, along with the type of imaging test, x-ray or MRI and the timing to confirm a diagnosis. A Low Back X-Ray/MRI X-ray spinal imaging is best at detecting bony structural problems but not so great with soft tissue injuries. There are X-ray series that may be performed to diagnose vertebral compression fractures like. - Anterior
- Posterior
- Lateral views
MRI is a radiation-free test. MRI's create 3-D anatomical views of the spinal bones and soft tissues. A contrast dye like gadolinium is used to enhance and improve the quality of the images. The contrast is injected through an intravenous line in your hand or arm before or during the test. An MRI can evaluate neurological symptoms, like radiating pain or pain that develops after being diagnosed with cancer. Symptoms, Co-existing Medical Diagnoses, and Conditions that may Require Spine Imaging Neurological symptoms - Low back pain that radiates, fans out or downward into the buttocks, legs, and feet
- Abnormal reflexes in the lower body can indicate nerve disruption
- Numbness, tingling, and possibly weakness develop
- Inability to lift your foot aka foot drop
Co-existing medical diagnoses and conditions - Cancer
- Diabetes
- Fever
- Osteoporosis
- Previous spinal fracture
- Spine surgery
- Recent infection
- Immunosuppressant medication use
- Corticosteroid medication
- Weight loss
X-ray Radiation Exposure When undergoing an x-ray, the radiation not absorbed by the body creates the image. The radiation dose is the same amount every time you undergo an x-ray. Radiation to your entire body is measured through the millisievert (mSv) also known as the effective dose. The effective dose helps a doctor measure the risk for possible side effects of radiographic imaging: - CT scans use radiation as well
- Certain body tissues and organs in the lower back are sensitive to radiation exposure like the reproductive organs.
MRI Radiation-Free Why Not Just Use This Test All The Time MRI's cannot be used on all patients because of its powerful magnet technology. Pregnant women or individuals that have metal inside their body like a spinal cord stimulator, heart pacemaker, etc cannot be scanned with an MRI. MRI testing is also expensive, doctors do not want to prescribe unnecessary tests that increase costs. Or because of the fine detail that MRI's provide, sometimes a spinal issue can look serious but is not. Example: An MRI of the lower back reveals a herniated disc in a patient that has no back/leg pain or other symptoms. This is why doctors bring all of their findings like the symptoms, physical exam, and medical history to confirm a diagnosis and then create the custom treatment plan. Imaging Test Takeaways If low back pain begins to take its toll, listen to what the doctor recommends. They might not order a lumbar x-ray or MRI immediately but remember the aforementioned issues like neurological symptoms and co-existing medical conditions. But these tests do help in discovering the cause or causes of the pain. Remember this is to help get patients to their optimal health and pain-free.
After a car accident, you may notice neck pain. It could be a slight soreness that you think is nothing but take care more than likely you have whiplash. And that little soreness can turn into a lifetime of chronic neck pain if only treated with pain meds and not treated at the source. Whiplash trauma aka as neck sprain or neck strain is an injury to the soft tissues around the neck. Whiplash can be described as a sudden extension or backward movement of the neck and flexion or forward movement of the neck. This injury usually comes from a rear-end car accident. Severe whiplash can also include injury to the: - Intervertebral joints
- Discs
- Ligaments
- Cervical muscles
- Nerve roots
Symptoms of Whiplash Most people experience neck pain either immediately after the injury or several days later. Other symptoms of whiplash trauma can include: - Neck stiffness
- Injuries to the muscles and ligaments around the neck
- Headache and dizziness
- Symptoms & possible concussion
- Difficulty swallowing and chewing
- Hoarseness (possible injury to the esophagus and larynx)
- The sensation of burning or prickling
- Shoulder pain
- Back pain
Diagnosis of Whiplash Trauma Whiplash trauma usually causes damage to the soft tissues, a doctor will take x-rays of the cervical spine for in case of delayed symptoms and rule out other problems or injuries. Treatment Fortunately, whiplash is treatable and most symptoms resolve completely. Most often whiplash is treated with a soft cervical collar. This collar may need to be worn for 2 to 3 weeks. Other treatments for individuals with whiplash may include the following: - Heat treatment for relaxing muscle tension and pain
- Pain meds such as analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory's
- Muscle relaxants
- Motion exercises
- Physical therapy
- Chiropractic
The symptoms of whiplash typically begin to decline in 2 to 4 weeks. For those who have symptoms during treatment may need to keep the neck immobilized with a halter at work or home. This is called cervical traction. Local anesthetic injections can help when necessary. Continuing symptoms or worsening symptoms after 6 to 8 weeks may require more x-rays and more diagnostic testing to see if there is a more severe injury. Severe extension injuries like whiplash can damage the intervertebral discs. If this happens, then surgery may be necessary. Some people will tell you that whiplash is a made-up injury that people use to get more money in a settlement stemming from an accident. They do not believe it is possible in a low-speed rear-end accident and see it as a legitimate injury claim, mainly because there are no visible marks. Some insurance experts claim that about a third of whiplash cases are fraudulent, but that leaves two-thirds of the cases legitimate. There is also a great deal of research that supports the claim that low-speed accidents can indeed cause whiplash – and it is very, very real. Some patients suffer from pain and immobility for the rest of their lives.
Chiropractic along with Other Natural Treatments Can Help Reduce the Opioid Epidemic As of now, there are over 2 million Americans dependent on opioids. For most of these individuals, the addiction comes from seeking pain management for an injury or chronic condition. The opioid crisis has become a national emergency causing overdose remedies to be sold over-the-counter. Seeking chiropractic care can provide patients with relief, and aid in reducing any negative effects of the opioid epidemic. The most commonly abused opioids are: - Fentanyl
- Oxycodone
- Tramadol
Opioids are often given to people battling cancer but are also prescribed following surgery and for people with chronic pain. Taking opioids over a long period of time is the most dangerous because the effects can trick your brain to thinking the drugs are necessary to live. Opioids are a convenient and fast remedy for pain, but only provide pain relief, and do not treat the actual issues. That is why opioids should be a last resort. A chiropractor can assess your body from head to toe and provide pain relief through: - Adjustments
- Massage
- Acupuncture
- Electromagnetic therapy
Chiropractic is a drug-free approach to pain relief and pain management. The American College of Physicians (ACP) recommends the use of non-invasive, drug-free treatments such as Chiropractic care, first for chronic and acute lower back pain. - Lower back pain is one of the primary causes of opioid dependency.
- Lower back pain can be difficult to treat, due to identifying and the cause.
- Many doctors prescribe pain killers to provide comfort, while the actual problem goes untreated.
- Chiropractors can identify the root cause of the pain.
- Lower back pain can be caused by issues with the feet, ankles, knees, or hips.
- Chronic back pain is due to some form of musculoskeletal weakness or imbalance.
An imbalance in one or both of the feet can cause problems throughout the entire body, especially placing stress on the lower back. Chiropractors are trained to examine the feet when a patient complains of back pain. Once the cause is identified, they can treat an individual without any prescription drugs. Treatments for chronic pain typically include: - Chiropractic adjustments
- Custom orthotics to help maintain the effectiveness of the adjustments
- You can be examined for custom orthotics in less than five minutes and have them sent directly to you or pick them up.
- Custom orthotics help us stand for extended periods, and with walking/working out.
- Custom orthotics help you function without pain, and prescription-free.
Treat pain without the use of surgery and addictive drugs. If you have low back pain or have had it, you are not alone. Experts estimate that around 80% of people will experience some type of back problem at some point in their lives. The Global Burden of Disease 2010 lists low back pain as the number one cause of disability worldwide. The good news is the majority of back pain is mechanical in origin or is not organic. This means that infection, cancer, fracture, inflammatory arthritis, and other serious conditions are not the cause. In fact, you may benefit by looking to your feet, knees, and hips as the culprits.
Automobile accidents are unfortunate conditions which can tremendously influence a person's wellbeing, health, and wellbeing. Automobile crash injuries, such as whiplash-associated ailments, neck pain, and back pain, can finally cause debilitating symptoms that can significantly restrict an individual's capacity to take part in their regular responsibilities.

The shoulder bears the brunt of a lot of work even in day to day activity. When something goes wrong, it can dramatically impact a person’s quality of life. The joint itself is quite complex with a wide range of motion, and that ability can become compromised due to overuse, injury, or age. The goal of the chiropractor is to keep the shoulder moving naturally and ensuring that it is a pain-free. Frozen shoulder syndrome is one common condition that affects the joint, limiting mobility and causing pain. Chiropractic is an effective treatment that helps patients regain range of motion and decrease or eliminate their pain. What is a frozen shoulder? Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is characterized by pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion of the shoulder joint. It can occur as a result of overuse or after an injury, but can also be caused by diabetes or other diseases or even stroke. It happens when the tissues that surround the joint become stiff, and scar tissue begins to form in the area. Shoulder movements become painful and difficult. It typically has a gradual onset, then goes away just as slowly. It can take a year or longer for the condition to subside. What are the symptoms of frozen shoulder? There are three stages of frozen shoulder and from onset to resolution. It develops gradually and subsides just as slowly with each stage lasting several months. - Stage 1 – Freezing Stage – The shoulder experiences pain during movement and the
- Stage 2 – Frozen Stage – The shoulder is stiffer, but the pain may begin to decrease. However, using it becomes increasingly difficult.
- Stage 3 – Thawing Stage – The shoulder begins to “loosen” and the range of motion starts to return.
Some patients may experience worsening pain at night which can lead to sleep problems. What causes frozen shoulder? Frozen shoulder often develops when the patient ceases regular use of the joint due to injury, pain, or a chronic health condition. There is no single cause of frozen shoulder; it can be caused by any problem involving the shoulder that prevents the patient from maintaining a full range of motion. It can also happen when the capsule that encases the connective tissue of the shoulder becomes thick and tight. The movement of the shoulder joint is restricted, impacting its ability to move. People who are 40 and older tend to be more at risk for frozen shoulder, and it occurs more often in women. Patients who have had prolonged mobility of the shoulder or their shoulder has been completely immobilized are also at risk. These mobility issues may result from conditions including: - Broken Arm
- Surgery recovery
- Rotator cuff injury
- Stroke
Certain diseases can also place patients in the high-risk category for frozen shoulder. Some disorders that may increase that risk includes: - Cardiovascular disease
- Diabetes
- Parkinson’s disease
- Underactive thyroid
- Tuberculosis
- Overactive thyroid
How can chiropractic help frozen shoulder? The primary treatment for frozen shoulder involves pain management and preserving the shoulder’s range of motion. Over the counter pain, relievers like NSAIDs and aspirin are often the first line of treatment. Physical therapy may also be used. In situations where the symptoms persist, more aggressive treatment may be necessary. Doctors may recommend invasive remedies such as surgery and steroid injections. However, chiropractic can treat the condition from onset through resolution. Even in instances where the symptoms persist, chiropractic can still be very effective. It can be as effective as more aggressive measures without drugs or invasive procedures. Regular chiropractic care can help return range of motion to the shoulder and return the patient’s quality of life.
Being involved in an auto accident can ultimately affect an individual's quality of life. Whiplash, neck pain, and back pain, among other common automobile accident injuries, can severely restrict a victim's ability to participate and engage in their everyday physical activities.

There are all kinds of tools for all kinds of jobs. However, using the correct tool can mean the difference between a job well done and a job that got done but also generated injuries and pain. Examples: - Long tools are best for when you need leverage, sparing the need for massive physical force.
- Vice grips and clamps can grip/stabilize objects rather than trying to hold objects with your hands.
- Tilt objects to avoid overbending the wrists.
- Use a cart/dolly/arm straps to carry heavy loads.
Take some time to think about how to make the job easier on yourself and look up youtube tutorials to find innovative ways to do these jobs making it less stressful both mentally and physically. The National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health guidelines hand tool use - Keep the wrists straight & Avoid bending/rotating the wrists.
Instead bend the tool, not the wrist and there are a variety of bent-handle tools just for this reason. Using the handshake wrist position is a good way to approach a job, as it is a neutral position for the wrist. - Don't stand still in one place for an extended time when using a heavy tool.
Instead, reduce the size and weight of the tool which will help avoid strain, keeping the elbows low and slightly bent. - Tools that place pressure on the base of the palm stress the soft tissues of the hands and fingers interrupting circulation and nerve function.
Instead, opt for one with finger grooves that fit the hand. Short-handles help by reducing stress on the soft tissues. - Don't use tools that need a lot of grip force to use or hold.
Instead, use one with a grip that compresses like memory foam and shapes to the hand. This is far better than hard plastic. - Don't use tools that need the fingers to grip.
Instead, use tools that utilize a full-hand power grip. - Do not use tools that have sharp-edged handles or areas where the hands could get pinched.
Instead, use tools that keep the hands/fingers safe. - Trigger-finger operational tools should be avoided as this can easily cause repetitive finger/hand/wrist injury from the constant on-off motion.
Instead, use tools with large switches that can be operated using all four fingers. - Excessive temperatures affect manual dexterity, therefore keep hands free from extreme heat and cold.
If possible, do a different job that's away from the extreme weather and if not wear properly insulated work gloves. - Keep excessive vibration to a minimum. Excessive vibration can affect circulation.
Use tools with control features that limit vibration to the extremities and whole body. - Wear gloves that fit. If they are too tight they will place extreme pressure on the hands. Loose-fitting gloves reduce grip strength and the ability to grip properly.
Instead have a selection that is designed for different jobs. Safely Operating Tools that Cause Whole-Body Vibration There are power tools that vibrate no matter what and transmit vibration into the operator's arms and hands, legs, and feet. Using a tool like this can cause a condition called white finger or Raynaud's Phenomenon to present. The symptoms include: - Aching in the wrists and muscles of the forearm
- Tingling sensations
- Numbness
- Whiteness in the fingers from restricted circulation
This type of vibration from riveting tools, grinders, pneumatic hammers, drills, and chain saws will affect the whole body's well being. Suggestions to help reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders - Choose power tools with anti-vibration controls and handles coated with suppressant/cushioned material to help with vibration.
- Maintenance power tools by making sure they are balanced, clean, and lubricated.
- Use gloves designed to absorb or reduce vibration.
- Ask for help if the job requires equipment or tools that vibrate.
Whether using a hand or power tool to get a job done, the whole body is involved. Executing proper posture and body mechanics, along with proper tool choice and how it is used is vital to injury prevention. Chiropractic care can help keep bodies flexible and help with range of motion. It is a very effective, non-invasive treatment for pain and can help with joint and muscular problems as well. Regular chiropractic treatments can help you better manage your body’s response to your work environment. It can also undo many of the ill effects that that type of work can cause.
Neck pain caused by a whiplash injury definitely warrants a visit to a chiropractic whiplash specialist that can provide non-surgical treatment and pain relief. Whiplash is an injury to the neck muscles from a rapid forward and backward motion of the neck caused by trauma from a car accident, sports injury, slip and fall accident or even just turning one's head but doing it with a fast whipping motion that causes the neck/spine muscles to become swollen and irritated. It can cause acute short-term neck pain and restricted movement. How a Whiplash Injury Is Diagnosed A chiropractor evaluates the spine in its entirety. If you go to a chiropractic clinic with neck pain following trauma. The chiropractor will examine the whole spine because the other areas of the spine could be affected and not just the neck region. The chiropractor locates the areas where motion is restricted if there are any disc injuries, muscle spasms, and ligament injuries. They will first apply motion and static palpation diagnostic techniques where they feel and touch the various areas where the pain is present, as well as where there is no pain. A chiropractor will also feel for: - Tenderness
- Tightness
- How well the spinal joints move
They will also analyze the patient's walk noting their posture and if there is possible spinal misalignment. This will help the chiropractor understand the patient's body's mechanics and what their spine is doing to compensate for the injury. This can mean: - Leaning to one side
- Getting up in a very careful way so as to avoid pain
- Hunching over
- Only turning in one direction
In addition to the evaluation, they will also order an x-ray or an MRI to evaluate any deteriorating changes that could have existed before the whiplash injury. The images and physical and neurological evaluation results are compared to figure out and develop the best treatment plan. Whiplash Treatment Stages After a whiplash injury happens a chiropractor works to reduce neck inflammation with various therapies like: - Massage
- Ultrasound
- Light stretching
- Soft manual therapy techniques
They may also recommend applying an ice pack on the neck and light neck support for a short time. As the inflammation and pain decrease the chiropractor will begin applying gentle spinal manipulation along with other techniques to restore the normal motion to the neck's facet joints. Chiropractic Whiplash Injury Treatment A treatment plan depends on the severity of the whiplash injury. Some manipulation techniques used are: - Flexion-distraction technique
This is a gentle non-thrusting type of spinal manipulation that helps treat herniated discs. A whiplash injury can cause an aggravated bulging or herniated disc. If this happens a chiropractor uses a slow palm pump action on the disc rather than direct thrusting force. - Instrument-assisted manipulation
This technique also non-thrusting utilizes a hand-held instrument. A chiropractor generates force without thrusting directly into the spine. This therapy is great for older patients who may have degenerative joint syndrome. - Specific spinal manipulation
Spinal joints that are restricted or have abnormal motion are identified. Then the chiropractor restores motion to the joint with a gentle thrust. This stretches the soft tissue and stimulates the nervous system to bring back normal motion. Along with these spinal therapies/techniques, a chiropractor also uses manual therapy to treat the soft tissues like the ligaments and muscles. Some examples of manual techniques are: - Instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy is where a chiropractor uses an instrument/s like the Graston technique, that gently treats any injured soft tissues. They will gently apply the instrument along the injured area with repeated strokes.
- Manual joint stretching and resistance therapy is a form of manual therapy that uses the muscle's own energy to create isometric contractions that help relax the muscles, and help lengthen the muscles.
- Therapeutic massage is where a chiropractor or physical therapist performs massage to ease and relax muscle tension in the neck.
- Trigger point therapy identifies specific tight painful points/areas of muscle by applying direct pressure with the hands or fingers on these points to alleviate the muscle tension.
- Interferential electrical stimulation This technique uses low-frequency electrical current to stimulate the muscles and reduce inflammation.
- Ultrasound increases blood circulation and helps reduce muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain. This happens by sending sound waves deep into the muscle's tissue which generates low heat and increases circulation.
- Therapeutic exercises to restore normal spinal motion and reduce whiplash symptoms.
Chiropractic medicine looks at the whole person and not just the symptoms. Neck pain is different for everyone, so chiropractors don’t just focus on the pain because the whiplash injury could have affected other areas that the patient doesn't feel pain or anything. But as the spine is a complex structure that works as a unit, a problem in one area can slowly or quickly start to create problems in other areas of the spine much like falling dominoes. With these techniques, a chiropractor will help increase a patient's daily activities back to normal as quickly as they can, depending on the severity of the injury. They will work as hard as they can to address any added spinal or nerve-related causes/injuries stemming from the original whiplash injury and treat them as well until normal movement is restored and there is no longer pain. Remember that prevention is the key to optimal long-term health! Our team has taken great pride in bringing our families and injured patients only clinically proved treatment protocols. By teaching complete holistic wellness as a lifestyle, we also change not only our patient’s lives but their families as well. We do this so that we may reach as many El Pasoans who need us, no matter the affordability issues.
Physical therapists or PT's are healthcare professionals that help treat/rehabilitate patients of all ages with various types of injuries. - Personal
- Work

- Geriatrics
- Sports
These are just a few, but there are many areas of specialization. Physical Therapist Many states allow individuals to go to a physical therapist without a referral from a doctor. Definitely ask your doctor for a recommendation, but also think about what you want in a therapist. Things to consider: - Physical therapist’s education/training background
- Do they treat my condition regularly
- Will my insurance cover the therapy
- How many sessions will I need
- Will, there be a customized home treatment plan
- Male or female physical therapist, which is right for you
Take Charge Physical therapists are valuable healthcare professionals and members of the medical community. Physical therapy can be challenging but don't let that get you down, because they will help get you back to optimal health, along with building a stronger, healthier body. Physical therapist Sandra Rubio describes how whiplash-associated disorders resulting from an automobile accident can cause symptoms of neck pain. An injury to the cervical spine can damage the complex structures of the neck, including: - Vertebrae
- Intervertebral discs
- Soft tissues
- Tendons
- Ligaments
- Muscles
Neck pain can come from various structures in the neck including vascular, nerve, airway, digestive, and musculature or it can originate from other areas of the human body. Most cases can be treated with assistance or using self-help suggestions and techniques.
Sometimes low back pain comes out of nowhere, but that sudden twinge in the lower back does have a cause. With some cases, there’s a trigger, like picking up a heavy object/furniture from an awkward position. But sometimes it can be a mystery and a challenge to diagnose.
It is important to know the cause of lower back pain to figure out the proper treatment plan.
Otherwise, one could receive treatment for the wrong diagnosis and possibly exacerbate the existing injury. Why do I need to know what triggers my back pain Knowing what triggers back pain is the first step toward prevention and how to treat it. Muscle spasms can stop you cold, and so I'm sure you don’t want another one. Acute Back Pain Acute low back pain typically comes on suddenly and lasts for a short time. It often resolves on its own with self-care and a little time. Back pain that lasts longer than three months, is considered chronic. Chronic back pain can be more complex and require doctor/spine specialist-directed treatment, like physical therapy. Lower Back Pain Is Common Over 90 percent of adults will have some type of low back pain during their life. It happens to be the number one cause of job disability globally and the leading contributor to missed work. Lower back pain happens more often, compared to mid or upper back pain because of the location and all of the movement. The lower back supports the upper body's weight.
The low back known as the (lumbar spine) absorbs and distributes all of the forces and stress when we move:
- Walking
- Standing
- Rest
- Sitting
- Sleeping
Spinal and abdominal muscles that are weakened heighten injury risk. These factors combined make the lower back vulnerable to painful spinal conditions. Common Triggers When the lumbar spine: - Muscles
- Tendons
- Ligaments
And other connective tissues get: Is when lower back pain happens. Small tears in the disc can also contribute to back pain. Basically, any number of activity and non-activity can cause damage to the spinal discs depending on the movement.
A study published in Arthritis Care & Research saw 999 people from 300 clinics in Australia, to examine their pain triggers.
The most common triggers include: Manual tasks performed in an awkward posture This includes: - Lifting boxes with the back and not bending the knees
- Lifting something too heavy
- Moderate physical activity
- Vigorous physical activity
High intense strength training, long bike rides without proper conditioning, handling people or animals, and picking up children can be triggers and cause injury. Other triggers include: - Overstretching
- Twisting
- And Trauma
From: - Falls
- Vehicle accidents
- Sports
Triggers You Might Not Know About Although we don't think about it being Distracted can increase the odds of low back pain. When we're not paying attention, we are more likely to lift and carry something too far from our body or distribute the weight unevenly.
Feeling tired and Fatigued is associated with lower back pain.
Getting the proper amount of sleep is vital to restore our bodies to optimal performance. When we don't sleep the right amount of hours we make our bodies more susceptible to injury. Treatment Thankfully most cases are not serious and typically resolve within a few days to, four weeks healing on its own. But if not, then there are these conservative treatments that can help you feel better and speed up healing. Continue to Move Around Depending on how much pain your body will allow, keep doing regular activities and exercise, as best as you can. Activity increases blood flow, that moves oxygen and minerals/nutrients through the body. Activity and movement help reduce muscle tension and inflammation. Heat/Ice This will not cure a strain or sprain, but they do help in pain reduction. Heat helps loosen tight muscles. This can be done by making warm compresses by soaking a towel in hot water. Fold it to the size you need and wrap it around your lower back up to 20 minutes. Then rest, massage and re-apply. Therapy Physical and manual therapies like: If the pain is intense and interferes with daily activities, a chiropractor/physical therapist can offer exercises and stretches to: - Improve posture
- Increase mobility
- Correct muscle imbalances
Acute lower back pain can stop you cold with its intensity. Understanding triggers can take steps to maintain a healthy spine and avoid unpleasant surprises. Medication Both acetaminophen (Tylenol) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can relieve pain.
These need to be taken, specifically as directed by your doctor. We've seen the opioid crisis going on and now this type of treatment is now a last resort. Various medical associations are now pushing towards natural and alternative therapies before turning to medication.
Prolonged use of NSAIDs (Aleve, Advil) can be associated with an upset stomach, kidney damage and gastrointestinal conditions and bleeding, among other conditions. Back pain is one of the most common health issues frequently diagnosed by healthcare professionals. Approximately 80 percent of the population will experience some type of back pain throughout their lifetimes. Because back pain can occur due to a wide array of health issues, diagnosis is essential to follow-up with the proper treatment approach. Dr. Alex Jimenez, chiropractor or doctor of chiropractic in El Paso, TX, utilizes chiropractic care to help treat back pain. Patients describe how their back pain affected their quality of life, and how Dr. Jimenez helped them improve their overall health and wellness with chiropractic.

A pinched nerve is a common complaint that can cause a wide variety of symptoms from pain to numbness. In many cases, the condition can be resolved quickly through chiropractic care; sometimes with just one session. However, chiropractic should be treated as an ongoing practice for better health and wellness. Not only can it help you better manage pain and resolve many health problems, but it can also help prevent injuries and certain conditions from developing. This often means that seeking chiropractic for a pinched nerve is a wise decision and can bring a quick resolution. What is a Pinched Nerve? A pinched nerve is the result of excessive pressure being applied to a nerve. This pressure can come from muscles, bones, tendons, or cartilage and causes a disruption in the nerve’s ability to function. This causes a variety of symptoms including pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness. In the spine, a herniated disc can put pressure on the nerve root, causing pain and discomfort. In the wrist, it can cause a condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome. Why is a Pinched Nerve so Challenging? The issue with a pinched nerve is finding the source. When a nerve is pinched, the pain and other symptoms may not be at the actual site. Instead, the pain and other sensations can travel to other parts of the body, including down the leg or through the arm. This can make it difficult to treat, but an experienced, knowledgeable chiropractor can assess the situation and treat the condition, bringing relief to the patient. What are the Symptoms of a Pinched Nerve? A pinched nerve can manifest with many different symptoms, often depending on its location in the body. They may worsen while the patient is sleeping. Some of the most common symptoms include: - Pain that is aching or sharp
- Lower or mid back pain
- Neck pain
- Shoulder pain
- General spinal pain
- Pain that radiates down the leg or arm
- Numbness or tingling in the legs, arms, fingers, or toes
- Burning sensation in the legs, arms, fingers, or toes
- Muscle weakness in the legs or back
- Headaches
- Frequently feeling like a hand or food is “asleep”
When the nerve is not pinched for very long, it typically does not leave the patient with any permanent damage. When the pressure is relieved, then the normal function can return quickly. On the other hand, if the pressure is not relieved, it can cause permanent damage to the nerve, leading to chronic pain. What Causes a Pinched Nerve? A pinched nerve can have a number of causes. Wrist or rheumatoid arthritis is a common cause, but others may include: - Injury
- Repetitive motion that places stress on parts of the body
- Obesity
- Sports activities
- Certain hobbies that require repetitive motion
What are the Treatments for a Pinched Nerve? The first line of treatment for a pinched nerve is rest. Medications may be recommended or prescribed, such as NSAIDs and muscle relaxers, but remember every drug has side effects so make sure you talk to your medical doctor before moving forward. Physical therapy is another common treatment. The patient is taught certain exercises that stretch and strengthen muscles around the pinched nerve so that it relieves pressure. They are also given self-management techniques that they can do at home to get relief. However, if the pinched nerve is due to a misalignment in the spine, it doesn’t matter how many exercises you do; they won’t fix the problem. In severe cases, surgery may be recommended. This is usually a last resort. Does Chiropractic for a Pinched Nerve Really Work? Chiropractic care is a very effective treatment for pinched nerve because it addresses the root cause and works toward fixing the problem through spinal manipulation and very specific chiropractic adjustments. By bringing the body into alignment, pressure on the nerves is relieved. This helps relieve the pain but also facilitates healing allowing the patient to return to their normal daily activities and experience less downtime.
