Personal Injury/Workers’ Compensation
in Apple Valley
Slips, trips, falls, and worksite accidents can leave you feeling sore, stiff, and unsure of what to do next. Pain may set in immediately or take days to surface. Either way, when discomfort lingers or limits your movement, it’s time to seek care that focuses on you.
We support individuals dealing with personal injuries unrelated to car accidents. Whether it’s a workplace strain or a fall on the stairs, at Lifeway Chiropractic and Wellness, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence and care that fits your body’s needs.
Common Personal Injuries We See and Support
Every injury has its own story, but some patterns appear more than others. We regularly work with patients experiencing low back pain, head injuries, neck discomfort, and joint sprains from falls or workplace accidents. These injuries can interfere with work, sleep, and basic daily tasks, especially when they’re not addressed early.
Soft tissue damage isn’t always obvious right away. That’s why it’s best to seek care as soon as possible, even if symptoms feel mild. Waiting may cause issues to worsen or become more complicated to manage later.
What to Expect During Your Initial Visit
Your first appointment is designed to get a complete picture of your condition. We’ll begin with a detailed health history and perform a thorough physical exam, including orthopedic testing, to determine if moving forward with care is appropriate.
Understanding how the injury occurred and how your body responded is key to developing a clear plan. If needed, we’ll refer you for X-rays or other imaging to help ensure nothing is overlooked.
Personalized Therapies to Support Recovery
Our clinic offers a wide array of supportive options. Chiropractic techniques include Diversified adjustments, Activator methods®, Thompson Drop, and Impulse IQ® instrument-assisted adjusting. To complement this care, we may recommend therapies such as decompression (lumbar and cervical), EMTT, shockwave therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, cold laser, and intersegmental traction.
These tools are selected based on your needs, comfort level, and how your body responds over time.
Tailored Plans That Align With Workers’ Compensation
If your injury occurred on the job, we’re experienced in working within Minnesota’s workers’ compensation guidelines. Your care plan will be adapted accordingly, ensuring proper documentation and adherence to recommended timelines, frequency, and reporting.
We also accept personal injury cases on a lien basis and collaborate with attorneys when needed. Our team is happy to assist with forms, records, and communication required for insurance or legal claims.
More Than Pain Relief, Rebuilding Strength And Motion
Chiropractic care is just the beginning. To support your continued progress, we often introduce therapeutic exercises focusing on stretching, strengthening, and improving mobility. These exercises can be done at home and are designed to reinforce the work we do in the clinic.
For those looking to maintain results, we may recommend wellness visits that help your body function better long-term, whether you’re back on the job or simply moving through your day more easily.
Recover With Confidence
If you’ve had a fall, workplace injury, or other physical setback, you don’t have to manage it alone. Our team is here to listen, evaluate, and support your recovery, step by step.
