Post-injury advice

There are many types of injuries that can occur to your spine. Your Chiropractor will assess your spine to determine what the best course of action is for you.

Speaking generally, if you sprain your back or neck, you will need to start by decreasing the amount of activity, but quickly introduce stretching. When you sprain one or more of the joints in your spine, especially if you have done it severely or repetitively, you can develop functional problems in the vertebrae, chiropractors call this "vertebral subluxation". So when you sprain your back and neck, it is wise to seek the help of a chiropractor to help you regain proper function. He or she will also recommend the best exercises for stretching and later strengthening your spine.
