You cannot always pick yourself up after an accident, dust off your clothes, and go back home to an ordinary life. If you have been seriously injured, recovery may not be a guarantee. Going back to your old self is a process that could take weeks, months, or even years of hard work and sacrifice.

Everybody’s roadmap to recovery is different, but most people who have been hurt in a traumatic accident will eventually be steered toward physical therapy. Falling under the broader, more general category of “physical rehabilitation,” physical therapy is a hands-on approach to managing injuries, reinvigorating damaged muscle, and regaining your pre-accident range of motion.

Physical therapy is often an integral component of recovery but it is also expensive.

What Can A Chiropractor Do For My Personal Injury Claim?

Chiropractors are licensed and extensively trained health professionals who treat conditions related to the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Most chiropractors pay special attention to the spine and use massages, pressure, and other forms of manual therapy to help patients overcome chronic pain and discomfort. Some experts still question the science behind chiropractic medicine, though much of this skepticism has receded in recent years.

In total, approximately 35 million Americans of all ages and backgrounds visit chiropractors at least once a year. Many of these visits have more to do with general fitness and personal health concerns than physical trauma. However, if you have been injured in an accident, a chiropractor could do more than you might expect. Aside from the oft-cited benefits of chiropractic treatment, any steps you take toward recovery could help you build a better, stronger personal injury claim.

Should I Settle Or Go To Court?

If you have the law on your side, you should not have to think twice about sitting down for insurance negotiations or taking your claim all the way to court.

However, reaching an agreement is often easier said than done.

You might have evidence, and an at-fault driver or negligent landlord could have admitted that their mistake caused your injuries, but instead of receiving a check in the mail, you could find your follow-up calls unanswered and your emails outright ignored. Even if you receive an offer that seems generous, it may be for significantly less than your case is actually worth.

How Social Media Can Impact Your Personal Injury Case

Published on: September 16, 2025 | By Dietrich Law Firm P.C.

In a world where writing a social media post is often more effective than calling customer support, you may not think twice about taking to the internet after an accident.

Platforms like Facebook and Instagram make it easy to keep friends and family informed and up-to-date on your recovery. You might even be tempted to write a negative review for a negligent landlord or reckless contractor, hoping your experience will help keep others safe.

However, regardless of your intentions, discussing an accident on social media can have serious repercussions. If you file a lawsuit, the defendant’s insurance company will almost certainly scour the internet for new pictures and comments, taking every opportunity to twist your words against you. Without the proper representation, your case could end in shambles.

If your child was seriously injured in an accident that was not their fault, deciding to go to court is often easier said than done.

Even if you are confident that the law is on your side, filing claims, sifting through paperwork, and keeping tabs on a dozen different deadlines is exhausting, especially when your mind is on your child and their future, not insurance negotiations and fine print.

You do not have to choose between your child’s rights and your family’s time to heal.

Can You Afford The Cost Of Recovery?

The cost of health care is only going up.

Year after year, hospital bills and medical debt force more Americans into bankruptcy than any other expense. Even if you are one of the 305.2 million people in this country with health insurance of some type, recovering from a serious injury almost always necessitates some form of sacrifice.

Hip Injuries

8-20-25-hip-injury-300x257 Your hip joint is the single most significant connection between your legs and torso.

Comprised of large bones, cartilage, and many different types of muscle, tissue, and fiber, your hips are incredibly strong and among the most durable parts of the body. However, the hip joint is complex—and like any complex system, any weakness could have far-reaching repercussions, impacting almost every facet of your day-to-day life.

Hand and Wrist Injuries

7-15-25-Hand-and-Wrist-Injuries-300x200 Your hands and wrists are so complex that any serious injury to a bone, nerve, or tendon could have serious repercussions. Even if you have the means to cover the initial costs of treatment, recovery rarely stops and ends with a single trip to the emergency room. Instead, you could be forced to take days, weeks, or months away from work, losing critical income while having to pay out-of-pocket for intensive medical procedures and long-term physical therapy.

Suppose you have been injured in an accident that was not your fault. In that case, you may not be liable for your health care costs and other damages, but you cannot expect the insurance company, or its army of in-house lawyers, to offer you a fair deal without first putting in a whole lot of legwork.

Joint and Dislocation Injuries

7-8-25-joint-and-dislocation-injuries-300x202 Joint and dislocation injuries often do not receive the attention they deserve.

Although many people make the mistake of thinking that these types of injuries are minor, they can be debilitating and take a significant toll on accident victims’ quality of life. Recovery often entails time away from work, physical rehabilitation, and a big enough bank account to pay down thousands of dollars in medical bills.

However, you may not have to pay out-of-pocket for your recovery.
