The Harbeson, Delaware personal injury lawyers at Schuster Jachetti LLP have provided this article on chiropractic care, hoping that it will help to answer any questions that accident victims may have about this type of medicine.
Who Founded Chiropractic Care?
The first school of chiropractic care was opened in 1887. The founder, Daniel David Palmer became interested in how the musculoskeletal system impacted the overall health of a patient after he did a spinal adjustment on a janitor. According to Palmer, the janitor had a knot near his spine that went away with gentle pressure and manipulation. In addition to reporting feeling relief from his back pain, the janitor also told Palmer that he believed the adjustment helped to restore his hearing.
Two years after the adjustment, Palmer opened the Palmer School of Chiropractic.
Within two decades, Kansas recognized chiropractic care as an official form of medicine. Practitioners had to become licensed in order to offer care. The rest of the U.S. soon followed.
Currently, there are more than 7,000 practicing chiropractors in the United States, helping patients overcome serious injuries.
What Kinds Of Injuries Can Be Treated By Chiropractic Care?
Any injury can be treated by a chiropractor, however, the most common injuries include:
- ACL Tears
- Spinal Damage
- Neck Injuries
- Muscle Pain and Strains
- Joint Damage
Be sure to discuss all past medical history with your chiropractor during the first consultation.
Should I Stop Seeing My Other Doctors If I Start Seeing A Chiropractor?
No, you should always continue to see all recommended physicians. Chiropractors frequently work with other physicians to create a whole-body treatment plan for a patient.
That being said, if any doctor makes you feel uncomfortable in any way, you can seek a second opinion. You should always trust any medical professional who is providing you with treatment.
