You Don’t Always Feel Hurt Immediately After a Car Accident

Have you or someone you know been injured in a car accident?  The most common injury in auto accidents is whiplash.  Whiplash is a term used for describing an injury resulting from the head being jerked abruptly to the back, forward or the side.  This unnatural sudden movement destabilizes your spine and can cause severe pain.  Other symptoms from a whiplash injury may include:

  • Back Pain
  • Neck Pain
  • Arm Pain
  • Shoulder Pain When Moving
  • Neck has reduced Range of Motion
  • Headaches
  • Blurred vision, dizziness

Medical attention should be sought immediately after a car accident, as the effects of whiplash that go untreated can cause you long term pain and disability. The degree of physical trauma from an accident is not always known immediately.  It might take days, weeks or even months for your symptoms to appear. This is why immediate chiropractic care is critical to help treat auto accident injuries.

Chiropractic Care and Therapy is Urgent

Any part of your body that is jarred or thrown unexpectedly can sustain disabling stretched ligaments and even ligament tears. Those ligaments supporting the head and neck are extremely sensitive and vulnerable to tear during a collision. Chiropractors focus on the care of the musculoskeletal system, which explains why seeing a Doctor of Chiropractic after an accident is so important.

An accident victim receiving treatment and care early on increases the probability of full recovery and healing. Even a seemingly minor fender bumper accident with minor damage to the car can cause substantial injury to the driver and passengers inside it depending upon how the vehicle is struck and the physiology of the accident victims. Chiropractic therapy is a conservative and evidence-based step to take toward restoring your body to a healthy state. Chiropractic care treatments relieve pain, make necessary adjustments to your spine alignment and also generally include stretching and therapeutic exercises. All aspects of therapy play an important part in your overall rehabilitation to return and improve your function, movements, strength and mobile reliability.

Beyond the adjustments, stretches and therapeutic exercises, you will receive advice for proper nutrition and the appropriate home exercises to continue healing on your own after your treatment plan.
