"Recovery from a workers' compensation or auto accident injury can be a long and difficult process," said Dr. Cohen. "By using advanced treatment techniques, we speed the healing process and provide pain relief. Our goal is to help patients return to work and their regular activities as soon as possible."
Patients with workers' compensation injuriesor auto injuries often receive a combination of chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy. According to Dr. Cohen, treatments are designed to correct underlying misalignments in the spine caused by accidents. Physical therapy treatments can also help restore mobility and flexibility.
"Chicago pain patients may also receive medication under the supervision of our physician," said Dr. Cohen. "However, many of our injury patients find that through chiropractic adjustments and physiotherapy, they are able to manage chronic pain without the need for medications."
According to Dr. Cohen, accidents can cause a mechanical misalignment in the musculoskeletal system. A herniated disc, for example, may compress nearby nerves, causing a radiating pain sensation.
"The most effective treatment for a personal injury is to correct the underlying cause and relieve pressure on the nerves," said Dr. Cohen. "Our smartphone app helps patients learn more about our treatment techniques."
