Jonesboro Chiropractic Treatment For Wrist Pain

Injury to a wrist from a car accident upsets a fine-tuned operation. The ligaments in the wrist are similar to tape in the way that they stabilize joints by connecting bones together. Forceful bending of ligaments that exceeds their elasticity causes sprains during an accident. These are known as hyperextension injuries, ranging from minimal stretch to breakage of the ligaments. Most sprains go untreated by people “waiting it out.”

However, the long-term effects of not treating a wrist injury after a car accident could lead to losing the functionality of your hand as time goes on. A wrist fracture is most common from a broken radius bone, which lies two inches above the wrist joint. This is the most frequently broken bone in the arm. Setting the bone and putting it in a cast is the standard practice. In the event that your wrist has multiple fractures, surgery may be required.

At AICA Jonesboro, we use a multi-tiered approach to treating our patients. We utilize state of the art imaging technology to determine the problem. Then, our Jonesboro Chiropractors create a personalized course of treatment to make sure your bones heal properly. Our team of Chiropractors can also determine if surgery is needed. However, surgery is rarely needed with our array of treatment options.
