What is a personal injury?

A personal injury is any injury for which someone else is legally responsible. Examples include car accidents, slip-and-fall injuries, and job-related injuries (workers’ compensation).

If you’ve suffered a personal injury, finding pain relief is usually the first step. Dr. Onya at Forever On Your Mind Chiropractic provides effective pain relief so you can focus on the details of your personal injury claim.

What are common personal injuries?

Personal injuries can range from a simple ankle sprain to a debilitating injury that requires lifelong care. Dr. Onya treats the full spectrum of personal injuries, including:

• Sprains and strains
• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Whiplash
• Nerve pain
• Headaches
• Joint pain
• Numbness and tingling

These injuries may result from any type of motor vehicle accident, including car collisions, motorcycle crashes, and pedestrian accidents. They can also occur on the job or out in public.  

When should I see a chiropractor for a personal injury?

Even if you don’t feel pain right away, you should schedule an appointment at Forever On Your Mind Chiropractic as soon as possible after a personal injury. Some conditions, like whiplash, may not cause noticeable symptoms until several weeks or months after the injury. Holding off on treatment may result in irreversible damage.

What should I expect from chiropractic treatment of a personal injury?

Conventional medicine usually relies on medications to relieve pain associated with personal injuries. However, these medications are often addictive and cause unpleasant side effects. Dr. Onya offers safe, drug-free, and noninvasive chiropractic treatment for personal injuries.

The treatment you receive depends on the type and severity of your personal injury, but may include:

• Chiropractic adjustments
• Spinal manipulation
• Instrument-assisted therapies
• Decompression therapy
• Massage therapy
• Laser therapy
• Trigger point release
• Nutritional counseling and supplements

They may also teach you stretches and strengthening exercises to perform on your own to facilitate recovery.

Dr. Onya understands accidents can be frustrating, and circumstances aren’t always favorable. But at Forever On Your Mind Chiropractic, we make sure that your experience is comforting and enjoyable. Dr. Onya will always explain your treatment and update your attorney and/or insurance agency on your behalf.
