Personal Injury Care in Carrollton, TX

What Personal Injury Care Is

Personal injury care is a form of therapy designed for patients who have sustained injuries after an auto accident or a fall. Your joints will lock tight, and your muscles will tighten. The first step Dr. Nguyen will take is to calm the new injuries. Once the trauma settles, your plan will focus on building up strong muscles. 

Dr. Nguyen will properly document injuries and treat them effectively. He’ll also communicate with your insurer or lawyer to ensure you are properly compensated. 

How Dr. Hoa Nguyen Performs Personal Injury Care at Dallas Spine Center 

Personal injury care at Dallas Spine Center starts by taking clear digital photos of your bones using our in-house digital X-rays. Dr. Nguyen will also use Computerized Radiography Mensuration Analysis (CRMA) to prove that your injury is new and related to the recent accident. 

Your tests will help Dr. Nguyen design your plan. Calming down your inflamed tissue is the main priority. Dr. Nguyen will also use warm pads,  Hako-Med therapy, red light therapy, and infrared to help relax your tight muscles. 

Dr. Nguyen will also perform chiropractic adjustments and manual therapy to unstick sleepy bones and massage those tight spots. They can improve blood circulation to the injury. Your plan changes as your condition changes. 

To make you strong and steady, Dr. Nguyen will add rehabilitation exercises. He’ll use a special bed that pulls your squished cushions. Every visit is planned. And it all depends on how your body feels. 

What a Personal Injury Case Session is Like 

1. 1Your first visit will involve an in-depth consultation. Dr. Nguyen will ask about your fall or auto accident. He’ll also check your pain and look at any imaging you have. If you don’t have recent images, we’ll take them right here on your first visit. The thorough consultation can last between 30 and 45 minutes. If your body is ready to undergo therapy, your treatment will start on your first visit. 
2. 2Your regular visit will include the application of a warm pad or a glowing light on the affected areas. This is to help your muscles rest for at least 10 minutes. It can also relax your tissues and reduce any inflammation. Then, Dr. Nguyen will perform a chiropractic adjustment and manual therapy. All of these are done in 20 minutes. You can go home afterward. 
3. 3How Does It Feel: The warm lights feel cozy and warm. You might hear a tiny pop sound. It’s normal. A little soreness is also normal after the first treatment. 
4. 4How often to undergo this care: You may need to visit three to four times a week if your muscles are sore. As you get better, your visits can be twice a week. Then, you can come once a week or when you want to. Although most patients need to visit us for about two months, it still depends on your overall condition. 

Who the Personal Injury Care is Designed for and Who Must Avoid It 

Personal injury care is designed for people who experience sore necks, backaches, or headaches after a car accident. You don’t need to be in severe pain just to undergo chiropractic care. Some symptoms don’t show up until a few days later. You must undergo early treatment to prevent the pain from lingering forever. 

It’s also for you if you don’t want to take medication or undergo surgery. If you want a conservative approach to reduce your pain, then this is ideal for you. 

But this isn’t for everyone. You must avoid it if you have broken bones or severe brain injury. You must visit an emergency room first. Even if you come to us after a car crash, Dr. Nguyen will still refer you out if your images show a broken bone that requires surgery. Our personal injury care is only recommended if you have sore muscles, stretched spots, or sleepy nerves. 

What Conditions Personal Injury Care Can Help 

Our personal injury care can help fix the following conditions: 

• Whiplash
• Neck pain
• Sore lower back
• Headaches
• Herniated disc
• Bulging disc
• Sciatica
• Pinched nerve
• Shoulder pain from impact
• Ligament sprains
• Sleepy arm and leg tingles

Many of these injuries can happen together at the same time. For instance, you may experience a bumpy back cushion, neck pain, and leg pain all at once. We fix your entire body together so you can go back to your daily activities without any pain. 

What to Expect After Every Session and How Often to Visit Our Office 

After a personal injury care session, you may feel tired. It’s normal, as your body is trying to fix itself. Inflammation is leaving your body, and your bones are moving in ways they haven’t since your auto accident. 

The number of visits may depend on your pain and how fast you heal. To calm your inflammation, you may need to come to our office often. As you get better, we’ll space out your visits. You may not need the full two months to feel better. In fact, some of our patients are completely healed in less than two months. But if you have chronic pain, you may need to complete the full two months or a bit longer. It all depends on how your body responds to the care. But it doesn’t mean that you will visit us forever. Depending on your progress, you may still visit Dr. Nguyen once a month, every few months, or once a year. 

If your pain lingers after a certain number of visits, Dr. Nguyen will find new approaches. Or he may refer you to another specialist. Every case is different. Our chiropractor won’t keep doing things that don’t work. 

What Our Patients Are Telling Us

Our patients say that their necks feel light after the first session. Other patients say that they could finally turn their head without wincing. They also reported that their shooting leg pain is gone after resting on the smart bed. 

They said that they love the idea of Dr. Nguyen documenting everything. They felt good to find out that their X-rays show sustained injuries from the recent accident because it means that they’re not imagining their injuries. 

Many of our patients felt relieved after knowing that chiropractic care could fix their pain without undergoing surgery. They were glad to have a conservative plan that didn’t require the use of drugs. Dr. Nguyen doesn’t make any promises. But he tries his best to make his patients feel better.
