Nobody intends to to suffer an injury, however they always seem to rear their ugly head in the most inopportune of times. Whether it is on the sports field, in the classroom, or at work, injuries just happen. Usually some are relatively harmless and heal themselves, others not so much. If you have a moderate or severe injury it is imperative to receive the proper healthcare to ensure full healing. Our chiropractic clinic in Peoria has had success in treating all kinds of injuries.

Kinds of Chronic Injuries

The kinds of chronic injuries we treat at our chiropractic clinic generally arise from a few different places. Typically they are a result of being injured at work, in a car accident, in a contact sport, or just from overuse. To be more specific on each one:

Work Injury - An injury suffered at work can be frustrating. Thy can range from mild to chronic but the most common ones that we see at our chiropractic clinic are those related to overuse. More specifically, wrist and back issues in the workplace. Thankfully chiropractic care works well in rehabilitating these injuries and allowing people to return to work pain-free.

Auto Injury - Individuals usually know to visit a chiropractor after an auto accident. Typically our chiropractor treats cases of whiplash where the head shakes violently after a car accident. While the symptoms of whiplash can linger far longer than expected, our chiropractor has the experience necessary to treat these injuries effectively.
Sports Injury - One does not need to search far and wide to find a player who has suffered a sports injury of one kind or another. It is important to seek care for all sports injuries large and small before they become nagging injuries that take weeks to recover from them. Proactivity is key.

Overuse Injury - These injuries tend to be concentrated in the neck and back regions due to the constant sitting most people do on the job. In addition, an aging workforce results in more injuries related to poor form used when performing manual labor or just plain old bad postures. Chiropractic in Peoria can help maintain good health and relieve injuries related to overuse.

Treating Injuries at their Source

Chiropractic care is concerned with treating your pain at the source without focusing on the symptoms. When this happens, your chiropractor is able to ensure a full recovery and that you will not experience a resurgence of the pain later. A side effect of this type of care is pain relief that lasts.
