So many patients come to me and tell me that they feel "burned". They suffer from chronic daily neck and/or back pain and their primary or "regular" doctor convinces them that they should NOT try Chiropractic. So many months pass, much un-necessary medicine Rx written and consumed, for what? In so many cases, an underlying spine adjustment is all that is necessary to rid the daily pain and spasm. After 22 years of practice, you would think that I could get "used to" these types of cases, but it isn't easy. Usually a female between the ages of 40 and 55 comes in with no history of Chiropractic. They suffer, complain, take meds, and tried "everyone", and after a thorough exam and half hour of listening to them, I figure them out. Then, and often after only 6 or so Chiropractic spine adjustments, they begin to see the light. When its obvious the problem is not going to come back, they cry. Its the biggest reward to help someone get their life back, when you look in to their eyes, and both the patient and I know its for real, and to stay.

Come visit me in white Plains NY or Stamford CT, and i'll show you what i'm about, and what Chiropractic care is capable of.

 

Dr. Jon Sirota

If you have had an experience like I write above, i'd love to hear back from you. Please tell me your story, you will inspire so many people to try Chiropractic if they hear from you.

G-d Bless.

Whiplash is the most common auto accident injury treated by our chiropractor, Dr. Sirota. Whiplash is caused by the rapid extension and flexion of the neck during a car accident.

Severe whiplash may require orthopedic treatment and whiplash has even been known to cause brain injury.

Worker's Compensation Treated at Sirota Chiropractic Centers

A White Plains & Stamford Chiropractor comments: 

At our Stamford and White Plains area chiropractor, Sirota Chiropractic Centers, we handle a number of worker's compensation and work injury cases. We have been providing help with Worker's Compensation in White Plains for years, and we know exactly how to handle the injuries that our patients experience, whether chronic or accidental.

One important discovery that we have made about worker's compensation injuries during our years of treating patients is that this type of work injury is often avoidable. In fact, these injuries are some of the easiest injuries to avoid. Much like auto accident injuries, some smart preparation and safety measures can make a big difference in injury avoidance.

At our Stamford area chiropractor, we use physical therapy and massage and chiropractic pain management to help alleviate pain and suffering after an injury. Our treatments help patients get back to their normal levels of functioning as soon as possible.

How to Prevent a Work Injury

Avoiding a work injury is often simpler than many people may imagine. Education is key; employers should always provide employees with sufficient information about potentially hazardous working conditions and workplace equipment. Signs should be posted in all areas where hazardous conditions exist.

Workers should be given both verbal and written instructions about how to use all workplace equipment. Written and verbal warnings are helpful and can work together with posted signs to achieve the highest possible safety levels.

Workers should be provided with, or required to obtain, proper protective clothing for every workplace situation. This can include suits that protect from chemicals, fireproof clothing, non-slip shoes, and protective eyewear.

While accidents are often preventable, the fact is that not everything can be avoided and sometimes on the job injury will occur. In cases like these, Sirota Chiropractic Centers treat worker's compensation injuries and specialize in helping employees get back to full health and back on the job as soon as possible. We will work with your insurance and will help with filing the worker's compensation claim, so lack of coverage should never be an impediment to getting the care you need.

Any person who has suffered from signs that could be whiplash already know that this condition can cause pain ranging from painful twinges to outright physical agony. At our Stamford and White Plains area chiropractor, we care for many whiplash patients, providing orthopedic care and treatments like physical therapy. While physical therapy  is one of the most helpful ways to eliminate pain once the whiplash is discovered, the patient and doctor first have to be able to identify the signs of whiplash. The following signs are some of the most frequently suffered results of whiplash.

Neck stiffness and pain is frequently an obvious whiplash sign. If a patient is suddenly having trouble moving their head and feels as if the neck is reluctant to move normally, whiplash may be to blame. Often, neck pain and stiffness go together: For example, a patient may try to slowly turn their head in one direction only to be stopped by neck tightness and pain.

Our Stamford chiropractor says that another often observed whiplash sign is back trouble. While many people have back pain or stiffness from time to time, whiplash back pain will generally begin in the time immediately after some sort of impact or accident. The pain may make it difficult to move normally and is sometimes spread over the whole back, but it may appear in only a small area of the back, which is why orthopedic treatment and physical therapy is such an effective treatment: It can target the pain precisely where it is.

Another sign of whiplash that we often see here at Sirota Chiropractic Centers are headaches. Headaches resulting from whiplash often start at the base of the skull, where the head and neck connect. The headaches may be dull or sharp, and can vary with each person. Headaches may be accompanied by dizziness and trouble concentrating.

Whiplash can be different for each patient, but most whiplash victims will experience one or more of these symptoms. Patients who think they may be suffering from whiplash should always take these signs seriously since it can be a very severe and long term injury if left untreated. Physical therapy, chiropractic, and other therapies can often be used together to eliminate whiplash pain and symptoms in the fastest-possible time.
