Personal Injury

When bodily harm occurs from being involved in any type of accident, specifically outside of your workplace, it is considered a personal injury. We at Kosak Chiropractic recommend coming in for a visit as soon as possible so that he can assess the damage and get you on the road to recovery. Whether it be a single or series of adjustments, your Fairfield, CA chiropractor is one of the best options for uncovering underlying issues from your accident.

Examples of personal injuries include:

- Auto accidents

- Motorcycle accidents

- Bicycle accidents

- A slip, trip, or fall

While a doctor treats symptoms with prescriptions, a chiropractor works to correct the problem with focused stretching of the affected muscles and careful adjustments. Your Fairfield, CA chiropractor recommends against letting your injury go untreated since this can cause more problems down the line, and affect your quality of life even more than the accident already has. If you find that everyday tasks cannot be done without significant pain, it may be time to schedule an appointment with us at Kosak Chiropractic.

Do You Have a Pinched Nerve?

Have you ever accidentally contorted your body in a way that resulted in a sharp pain that decreased mobility in your neck or arm? If so, you might have experienced a pinched nerve. Pinched nerves can occur anywhere along the spine, including the upper, mid, and lower back. They can even happen in any joint of your body. We at Kosak Chiropractic know all about the dreaded pinched nerve and how painful it can make doing the simplest tasks. Sometimes the nerve can move back into place naturally. However, if the pinched nerve is severe enough, you will need spinal adjustments to correct it.

Symptoms of a pinched nerve include:

- Lower back pain

- Numbness, tingling, or burning sensation in your arms, legs, fingers, or toes

- Pain radiating along your spine

- Severe headaches or migraines

- Pain that shoots down your arm or leg

- Neck pain

A pinched nerve can be caused by subluxation, disc degeneration, osteoarthritis, or disc herniation. These are silent afflictions in their beginning stages, which is why it’s important to see a chiropractor regularly. Your Fairfield, CA chiropractor will re-align your spine in an effort to correct your pinched nerve but also prevent one from happening again in the future.

Beat Back Pain by Strengthening Your Core

At Kosak Chiropractic in Fairfield, CA, we find that the majority of our patients with back pain lack core stability. A weak core can increase the risk of disc bulges and nerve damage. There are numerous exercises that can be done, even in the comfort of your own home with little to no equipment needed, to steadily build your core, relieve back pain, and ultimately prevent future back pain.

Some core-building exercises include:

- Plank

- Clamshell

- Bird Dog

- Glute Bridge Single-Leg Progression

- Pelvic Tilt/Glute Bridge

- Side Plank

- Tabletop Leg Press

- Superman

- Dead Bug

- Cat Stretches

- Reverse/Forward Lunge

These exercises can also help with balance, function, stability, and limit the chances of getting seriously injured. Your Fairfield chiropractors want to inform patients with new knowledge about their back pain and how they can treat it with an at-home regimen on days when they do not come into the office. However, it is important to remember that if any of these exercises increase pain, numbness, or weakness, you should immediately stop doing them and speak to your chiropractor.
