Personal Injury Care in Carrollton, TX

What Personal Injury Care Is

Personal injury care is a special therapy for people hurt in car crashes or big falls. Your joints will also lock tight. Your muscles tighten. We can calm the fresh injuries first. Then, we build up strong muscles once the trauma settles.

Since you’ll be dealing with paper calls, I write good reports for insurance calls. My job here is to properly document your injuries, treat them effectively, and communicate with everyone who is involved in your case.

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

Your insurance company wants to know when and where you got hurt. So, I start by taking clear digital photos of the inside of your bones using in-house digital X-rays and Computerized Radiography Mensuration Analysis (CRMA) to prove that your injury is new and it’s related to the accident.

The tests will let us know where you’re in the healing process so we can draft the plan. A soft route is taken first. The goal is to calm down your inflamed tissue. This will also help relax your tight muscles. We use warm pads (TENS unit for electrical nerve stimulation), Hako-Med therapy, red light therapy, and infrared.

At the same time, I use my hands to perform chiropractic adjustments and manual therapy. I unstick those sleepy bones and massage those tight spots to bring good blood circulation to the injury. Your treatment is not set in stone. It changes as your condition changes.

We will add rehabilitation exercises to make you strong and steady. If your back cushions are squished, we use a special bed that pulls gently. Every visit is picked just for you, depending on how your body feels today.

What a Personal Injury Case Session is Like

1. 1First Visit: We ask what happened to you, check your pain, and look at any imaging you have. If you don’t have bone images, we take them right here on the same day. The consultation can last between 30 and 45 minutes. If your body is ready, we try conservative treatment that day.
2. 2Regular Visit: You start with a warm pad or glowing light to help your muscles rest for 10 to 15 minutes to relax your tissues and reduce any inflammation. Then, I gently perform a chiropractic adjustment and manual therapy. You’re all done in 20 minutes, so you can go home.
3. 3What is it like: The warm lights feel cozy and warm. You might hear a tiny pop sound. You may feel happy after. But a little soreness is normal at first.
4. 4How often: When your muscles are sore, you visit three to four times a week. As you get better, you come twice a week, then once a week, then only when you want. You visit for about two months. Every person is different.

Who the Personal Injury Care is For and Who Must Skip It

It’s for people in car accidents who have sore necks, backaches, or head pain. This therapy can help when your head hurts after a crash. You don’t need to be in severe pain just to come visit us. Some symptoms hide for a few days. You must undergo early treatment to stop the pain from staying forever.

It’s also for people who don’t want scary medicine or sharp things. If you want a more conservative approach that reduces your pain, this is right for you.

Who must avoid it? If you have broken bones or severe traumatic brain injury, you should go to the hospital first. If images show a big broken bone needing surgery, I will send you to a different specialist. We only recommend this care if you have sore muscles, sleepy nerves, and stretched spots.

Conditions Personal Injury Care Helps

Here are the things that our chiropractic care can fix:

• 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

Plenty of these injuries happen together at the same time. You might have a neck bump, a bumpy back cushion, and leg pain all at once. We fix your entire body together, so everything works again.

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

It’s normal to feel tired. Your body is fixing itself, inflammation is going away, and bones are moving in ways they haven’t since your car accident. Full healing takes longer.

How often you visit depends on how big your pain is and how fast you heal. At first, coming in often can calm your inflammation and teach your body how to move again. As you get better, we space out your visits. Some people are totally all better and playing in six weeks. Others with chronic pain need the full two months or a tiny bit longer. When active care is done, I usually recommend a check-in plan. It doesn’t mean that you have to stay here forever. It means we still see each other once a month, then every few months, then whenever you want.

If your pain stays stubborn, I try to find new approaches. We might get bigger pictures, talk to a different specialist, or change your care plan. Fixing your personal injury isn’t the same for everyone. I won’t keep doing things that don’t work.

What Our Patients Are Telling Us

People say their necks feel light right after their first gentle adjustment. One person even said that he could finally turn his head around without wincing. Another person described how his shooting leg pain went away after resting on the stretch bed.

Our patients say that they like us documenting everything. They even told me that it felt good to show their X-rays and CRMA analysis to prove that they sustained injuries. When you know that you’re not imagining your injury and proof is drawn on paper, it takes away lots of stress.

Some people expected to be recommended for surgery and were happy that chiropractic care can fix their pain. Others were glad to have a plan that didn’t use drugs. I can’t promise magic outcomes since everyone heals differently, but I try hard to make people feel better.
