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.

Whiplash Symptoms and Treatment

Kosak Chiropractic is readily available to you when accidents happen unexpectedly, such as a whiplash injury due to a sporting mishap or auto accident. According to Mayo Clinic, “whiplash is a neck injury due to forceful, rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck, like the cracking of a whip.” The sooner you come in to see your Fairfield chiropractor, the sooner we can get you on the road to recovery!

Symptoms of whiplash include:

- Neck pain and stiffness

- Worsening of pain with neck movement

- Loss of range of motion in the neck

- Headaches, most often starting at the base of the skull

- Tenderness or pain in the shoulder, upper back or arms

- Tingling or numbness in the arms

- Fatigue

We offer a variety of services to help manage pain and treat whiplash damage, such as chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises, electric stimulation, and therapeutic ultrasound. If you are showing signs of whiplash for several days to a couple weeks after an accident, X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs are required to diagnose how severe the damage is.
