When someone suffers a significant injury, the resulting pain can make it difficult to make good decisions. For those living in the area, help is available at Kent Chiropractic. Do not delay in getting help for alleviation of the pain.

Meeting with the chiropractor for the first time involves a discussion period. A physical exam is next conducted. You are going to be asked to describe the pain, when it started and how long it has been going on.

The area of concern is examined and the place where the pain originates is identified. Range-of-motion, the way you walk and your reflexes are usually tested. In many cases an x-ray will help to make a thorough assessment.

One major facet of care is the manual adjustment. When appropriate, the chiropractor will set up a schedule for office appointments to perform these gentle adjustments. A mild exercise routine may be added to use at home between appointments.

The spine extends from the base of the skull down to the lower back. If the seven vertebrae located in the neck are harmed it is often due to whiplash. This injury is caused by the rapid jerking motion forward and backward that occurs in a rear-end collision.

Even at a low speed the rear-end collision can cause a whiplash injury. It is a painful injury that can interfere with the ability to work. It can be impossible to turn the head from one side to the other.

Adjustments to the seven cervical vertebrae which are located just below the head are the traditional care for such an injury. Sometimes a cervical collar is worn for a brief period of time. This stabilizes the head.

The chiropractor will plan your care and advise you on how active you should be. Each office visit will be used to administer manual adjustments. Keep in mind that each person responds to them at their own rate. The pain is sometimes alleviated in a short time. It can take longer depending on age and health of the sufferer. Your goal of getting back to work is usually met as quickly as possible.
