Personal Injury FAQ's
Personal injuries can put you out of commission for weeks or months due to painful symptoms. If you've recently suffered a personal injury, contact our Doctors at Heuser Chiropractic Health and Auto Accident Recovery Center in Colorado Springs, CO, to learn more about chiropractic pain relief treatment. These FAQs explain more about the causes and symptoms of personal injuries and chiropractic options for effective treatment.
What's considered a personal injury?
Personal injuries result from accidents that may occur on the road, at home, at work, during sporting activities, or any public location. Auto and workplace accidents are two of the most common causes of personal injuries.

What are the benefits of working with a chiropractor for personal injury treatment?
Our Colorado Springs chiropractors use natural therapies to treat your injury instead of resorting to surgery or prescription drugs for pain relief. Unlike medications that only provide temporary pain relief, chiropractic care treats the root cause of your symptoms to provide long-term relief by helping your body heal naturally. Our goal is to improve your overall health and ensure you do not experience any pain or discomfort caused by your personal injury in the future.
When should I see a chiropractor near me for treatment of a personal injury?
We recommend you seek chiropractic care as soon as you can after your injury. Your Colorado Springs, CO chiropractor will evaluate your condition, run tests to determine the source of your pain, and outline a personalized treatment plan. Treatment of acute musculoskeletal injuries is more effective when started early.
Can acute personal injuries lead to chronic pain?
Untreated injuries can worsen, resulting in chronic pain that can last for months after your injury. Untreated soft tissue injuries can cause scar tissue to develop, resulting in painful mobility. An untreated herniated disc that compresses your sciatic nerve can eventually develop into sciatica.
How do chiropractors treat personal injuries?
Depending on your injury and its severity, we may use chiropractic adjustments, spinal manipulation, rehab exercises, or other natural therapies to treat your injury.
A combination of these therapies is generally more effective in long-term pain relief, restoring body function, and getting you back on your feet. We'll customize your treatment to suit your individual healthcare needs.
