Chiropractic care is beneficial for personal injuries that affect the musculoskeletal system, and there are various types of injuries that fall into this category. At Pacific Empire Physical Medicine & Healthcare in Chino, our team shares a few examples of personal injuries that can be treated with chiropractic care.

Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common personal injuries that chiropractors address. It can be caused by various factors such as workplace accidents, falls at home or in a grocery store, car accidents, moving heavy furniture, or playing sports. The underlying causes can range from muscle overuse to herniated discs and pinched nerves.

Auto Accident Injuries

The impact of a collision can result in different issues, including whiplash, back pain, herniated discs, shoulder injuries, pinched nerves, and more. Our chiropractor can provide natural and long-lasting relief for each of these conditions.

Strains and Sprains

Whether you’re engaged in a workout routine or have a job involving manual labor, it’s easy to damage muscles, ligaments, and tendons throughout the body.

Desk-Related Issues

Musculoskeletal injuries are not limited to physically demanding jobs. Sitting at a desk for prolonged periods can also lead to various injuries, such as spinal misalignment, pinched nerves, and severe neck pain.

Repetitive Lifting Injuries

Many physically demanding jobs require frequent lifting, which can put strain on the body, even with proper form. Fatigue throughout the day can increase the risk of injury. The same applies to weightlifting during exercise. In both cases, a chiropractor can assist in faster recovery.
