If you live in or near North Hollywood or Westlake Village, CA, and need help with injury rehab, working with Dr. Archie Rodriguez could prove crucial to your recovery. Injuries often fail to heal on their own. Indeed, many get worse and can have a profound detrimental effect on your health, mobility, and more. The right approach to rehab can minimize risks.
Chiropractic Care for Injury Recovery
Many people who suffer an injury first turn to pain medication. While pain medication can provide relief, it often fails to resolve the underlying injury. Instead, the medicine interferes with your nervous system and blocks pain messages. Can you guess what happens when the medication wears off? The pain signals often flow, and many people find themselves back where they began.
In fact, by blocking pain signals, pain medication can actually make your situation worse. Pain signals are warning signs. By shutting them off, you may increase the risk of over-exerting yourself or otherwise aggravating the injury. Physical rehab, on the other hand, can reduce the risk of further aggravation. Come see Dr. Rodriguez if you need assistance with an injury or other aches and pains. He provides injury rehab in North Hollywood and Westlake Village, CA.
Trigger point release, chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic ultrasound, specialized stretches and exercises, and electrical muscle stimulation, among other treatments, may help you resolve your injuries. Dr. Rodriguez can help you select the right treatments.
