Personal Injury: Chiropractic Care


When bodily harm occurs from being involved in any type of accident, specifically outside of your workplace, it is considered a personal injury. Dr. Pete Lazarnick “Dr. Pete” recommends coming in for a visit as soon as possible, so that he can assess the damage and get you on the road to recovery. Whether it be a single or series of adjustments, your Georgia chiropractor is one of the best options for uncovering underlying issues from your accident.




Examples of personal injuries include:




- Auto accidents


- Motorcycle accidents


- Bicycle accidents


- A slip, trip, or fall




While a doctor treats symptoms with prescriptions, a chiropractor works to correct the problem with focused stretching of the affected muscles and careful adjustments. Dr. Pete recommends against letting your injury go untreated since this can cause more problems down the line, and affect your quality of life even more than the accident already has. If you find that everyday tasks cannot be done without significant pain, it may be time to schedule an appointment with Dr. Pete.



Dr. Pete Lazarnick “Dr. Pete” is located on 486 Bankhead Hwy in Carrollton, GA 30117. To find out more about the recovery process from a personal injury or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Pete, please visit www.askdrpete.com or call 770-832-2226.

Tips for Backpacks

A new school year means new school supplies. We at the chiropractic office of Dr. Peter Lazarnick (Dr. Pete) want to ensure kids are getting backpacks that are safe and fit them properly, so we’ve dedicated this week’s blog post to explaining what to look for. A backpack shouldn’t weigh more than 15% of its wearer’s body weight. The American Chiropractic Association suggests getting smaller backpacks for this reason, and to avoid ones with pull-out handles or wheels unless those features will be used regularly. A child shouldn’t have to strain when lifting their backpack, and if they do, some objects need to be removed. The backpack should rest on the center of the upper back. The straps should be pulled snug, but not tight enough to pinch the nerves of the arms or cut off circulation. It’s best to get a backpack with wide, padded shoulder straps and a strap across the chest. It’s also important to always wear both shoulder straps. Ask your children whether they’ve felt pain or numbnes
