How your chiropractor in Calumet City, IL, can help you heal.
When you suffer a personal injury, it can be scary. It’s hard to know whether you will heal quickly, or have lasting injuries that can interfere with your life. You need to see someone you can trust to help you heal and recover.
Dr. Shamsu Raheem at ES3 Fitness Rehab in Calumet City, IL, provides a wide range of chiropractic services and treatments, including personal injury services, to help you heal.
A personal injury can take days, weeks, or months to heal. Sometimes the effects of a personal injury can last for years, becoming a chronic cause of pain. Your body may try to compensate for an injured area, resulting in other muscles, ligaments, and tendons becoming painful too.
Your chiropractor will begin treatment by doing a comprehensive examination including evaluating your balance, reflexes, walking ability, strength, and other factors. Imaging studies like x-rays, and MRI, or a CT scan may be ordered. Lab tests might be included to determine your overall health.
After your examination, your chiropractor will develop a treatment plan designed to help you heal and return to an active, healthy life. Your treatment plan may include:
Chiropractic adjustments, to help realign your skeletal structure and spine; adjustments may include the use of a table, lumbar roll, and other equipment
Ice massage therapy, also known as cryotherapy, to reduce swelling and tissue damage, and to provide pain relief
Heat therapy, to relax tense muscles, ligaments, tendons, and stiff joints; heat therapy boosts circulation to promote healing, and improves flexibility.
When you suffer a personal injury, time is important. Early treatment can lead to a speedy recovery and a better outcome for you.
