Allow Dr. William Owens of Greater Buffalo Accident & Injury Chiropractic to handle your injury rehab in Buffalo, NY.

What Is the Goal of Injury Rehab?

Recovering from a serious injury can be a long and difficult journey. Initial, emergency treatments are also not enough to resolve that health issue. Instead, you will need to begin a comprehensive treatment plan. That usually means starting an injury rehab routine.

Rehab aims to help people fully recover from traumatic injuries. Because a major injury can affect a person in different ways, the recovery program they adopt should also provide comprehensive solutions.

First off, your injury rehab program should help to alleviate chronic pain. Traumatic injuries tend to affect the muscles and other soft tissues. Lingering injuries to those parts of the musculoskeletal can take away your strength, and while rest is important at first, too much of it will cause your muscles to atrophy and some will have to overwork to compensate for others. Injury rehab can gradually restore your strength to the level it was at prior to your accident.

Your range of motion could also be affected by your injury. Right now, moving your joints may be next to impossible because of how stiff they feel. Rehab can address that problem and restore the flexibility you lost. It can also break up adhesions in your muscles.

Some severe injuries can also take away a person’s ability to move independently. If you are dealing with that kind of injury, part of your recovery should focus on improving your balance and coordination.

What Are the Chiropractic Treatments Involved in Injury Rehab?

No strict guidelines dictate which chiropractic treatments can be used for injury rehab. Instead, you and your chiropractor will decide which treatments will be included in your rehab sessions. Your chiropractor can recommend treatments that can aid in your recovery, and you will decide if you want to try them.

Examples of treatments that may be included in your injury rehab include spinal adjustments and electrical stimulation. Exercises may also be added to your rehab sessions. The exercises can help facilitate faster recovery and protect you from future injuries.

You should also expect your injury rehab to evolve. Your chiropractor will increase the intensity of your activity as you are able to do more.
