Chiropractor in Belle Plaine Helps Car Accident Injury Patients Heal

General Chiropractic

Did you know that chronic pain is caused by a misalignment in the body? A car accident injury, a slip and fall, or natural wear and tear over time can cause the spine to slip out of alignment. When this happens, a disc may compress or pinch nearby nerves, leading to pain. As long as this misalignment continues, the body is at risk for injury, illness and fatigue. Chiropractic care works by restoring alignment to the spine. Dr. Gansen uses natural, hands-on adjustments to gently restore this alignment. There’s no painful popping or cracking, just gentle pressure on the body. Spinal adjustments can treat a wide range of conditions, ranging from chronic low back pain and migraines to fatigue and allergies.

Workers’ Compensation

If you work in an office, you may spend most of your day hunched over a computer. Poor posture can lead to back pain or carpal tunnel syndrome. A slip and fall on a wet break room floor could cause a herniated disc, leading to long-term pain. Dr. Gansen is skilled and experienced in treating workers' compensation injuries. He uses a combination of targeted spinal adjustments and corrective care exercises to relieve pressure on the nerves and help soft tissue injuries heal. Dr. Gansen can also help ensure that your workspace is ergonomically correct, which will reduce strain on muscles, the shoulders and the lower back.

Sports Injuries

Whether you’re a competitive athlete or just enjoying staying active, a sports injury can take you out of the game. Without the right care, your injury may fail to properly heal, leaving you on the sidelines. Our chiropractor helps the body safely heal damaged tissue and correct misalignments. Dr. Gansen has helped patients heal from knee injuries, ankle injuries, rotator cuff injuries and tennis elbow injuries. He focuses on the underlying cause for your injury, using a combination of spinal adjustments to restore alignment and corrective care exercises to build strength and restore a full range of movement.
