Chiropractic Care After a Car Accident
Being in a car accident can cause a lot of trauma to the body, that is both visible and invisible. Often recommended after an auto accident, chiropractic care seeks to help patients who have experienced whiplash or other trauma. Since it is a non-invasive treatment, it is often ideal for patients who wish to avoid surgery but still desire relief. Here are a few ways that chiropractic care may be able to help you after an accident.
Restore Range of Motion- Your spine and neck can often get misaligned or increase in stiffness due to the impact of an automotive accident. Through non-invasive care, your chiropractor can realign your spine and neck, and other joints, providing relief and mobilization.
Whiplash Treatment- Rear-end collisions are the most common cause of whiplash. Some symptoms of whiplash include dizziness, headaches, fatigue and stiffness in the neck. Trained hands can provide some of the best natural relief for whiplash and will also help with the other trauma.
Minimize pain- Back, shoulder, or even whole body pain can occur making recovery difficult and getting back to normal daily life impossible. Spinal manipulation can provide healing to your body. Chiropractic adjustments increase the flow of healing within your body reducing pain both short and long term.
Inflammation- Often tied with pain, inflammation is perhaps the most commonly occurring trauma on the body after an accident. Microscopic tears may be present in the muscles which are causing the inflammation. The body is attempting to heal itself quickly and doing so actually causes pain to radiate throughout.
Scar tissue- This tissue build up happens both externally and internally. Many times after an accident, the scar tissue on the inside of the body can unintentionally cause pain and stiffness. Through proper care management, the tissue can be broken down with chiropractic adjustments.
