Disc Injury Relief

The events that caused the disc injury are crucial to the intensity of the injury. Due to the severe pain that can result and the variety of issues causing it, a trained chiropractor is needed to deal with this issue. The Marshalltown, IA, chiropractic team at Dunham-Fritz Chiropractic has the experience to relieve your pain and put you on the road to a healthy life.

Discs are the padding between your vertebrae, which are made of a hard outer ring with a gel-like inner circle. You would be immobile without these discs, as these discs provide flexibility and proper nerve function.

A slipped disc is diagnosed when the gel-like center of a disc seeps out the bottom of the vertebrae. Severe pain and nerve irritation are the two main results of this condition.

A herniated disc is a magnified condition of a slipped disc that results in the gel-like center being pushed out farther. This can cause some paralysis of surrounding nerves and more severe pain.

Disc Extrusion

Disc extrusions are the most severe disc injuries. This is when the inner area of a disc almost completely leaks out or leaks out completely. This results in overbearing pain or a reduction in the range of motion.

Our team is experienced and trained to help fix and recover you from your disc injury. Feel free to contact us today with any questions and to schedule an appointment for your new patient special.

Struggling With Whiplash

If you have experienced whiplash, you know how much pain and discomfort it can cause. Most car accidents are the result of a rear-end collision. Whiplash can be hidden for weeks in some patients. If you have the misfortune of having pain or discomfort from whiplash, our chiropractor is available to administer a treatment to send you on the road to recovery.

To have success in whiplash treatment, a chiropractor who is trained in this area is needed. Even for the slightest hint of injury after an accident, you should seek treatment to better your health. Having a preliminary evaluation is always a good choice to prevent future unwanted symptoms.

The damage to your car or your spine could be from non-existent to harmful. Both situations require immediate evaluations. Lingering and increased pain are common results of a lack of treatment for whiplash injuries.

Your car’s headrest is an important factor in the severity of your whiplash injury. Having your headrest too low makes crashes at 10 mph or more, possibly harmful, and they can lead to health problems.

Chiropractic Care for Auto Injury

Chiropractic treatment has proven to be gentle and effective when dealing with whiplash or other automobile injuries. Also, chiropractic treatment has proven to be more effective than neck braces or physical therapy.

Our chiropractic team is happy to help relieve the struggles of whiplash and send you on the road to recovery. Contact us today for effective results!

Suffering From a Work Injury?

There is a very popular belief that an injury in the workplace is due to an accident, but in most cases, work injuries stem from overuse. Every year, Americans spend millions of dollars trying to fix the issue of injuries in the workplace. Your chiropractor has put together this information to help you use chiropractic care in your efforts to find relief from your work injury.

In most cases, an injury at work will come from a repetitive process that is causing stress to your body. Even sitting at a desk all day with poor posture can inflict pain that has the possibility to last all your life. For those who are doing manual labor, it is common for a lack of form to result in injuries. It is not usually a large accident or disaster that causes many work injuries, but just the habits and repetitive nature of many people's jobs are responsible for back pain and injury.
