Preventing Personal Injury

When it comes to navigating life, it can seem like there are often things that can happen to injure you. They can occur when you are driving, working, or playing sports. Once you are hurt, it can affect the quality of your life.

If you have any of the following injuries, you can come to Stillwell Family Chiropractic and Massage in Kent, WA, to help you recover. Yet, you want to keep these injuries from happening in the first place.

When it comes to personal injury, here are some to look out for and try to avoid:

Auto Injury

If you are involved in an auto accident, whether it is perceived as a low-speed collision or a full-speed crash, you can get an injury, including whiplash and broken bones. Always be vigilant and extra careful when there is bad weather. Don't drink alcohol before driving. While you also must depend on the people around you to do the same, you can help preserve yourself.

Sports Injury

There are several ways to get hurt playing sports. You could twist an ankle, tear a ligament in your leg, or break a bone. Some of these scenarios are unavoidable. For example, you can only move so fast as a 99-mph fastball flies into your hand. Yet, you can improve your chances in other areas by stretching and wearing shoes with good ankle support.

Workplace Injury

The workplace can be dangerous. For example, you can get hurt by sitting a certain way. You might also have repetitive strain operating machinery. Try to have proper form each time and talk to management about unsafe situations.
