The Benefits You Want
When you are in a motor vehicle accident, common injuries such as neck, shoulder and back pain are usually the result. Oftentimes, micro-tears in the ligaments and muscles occur, leading to inflammation, restricted motion and chronic pain. Not all injuries are easily diagnosed by an x-ray, so your Doctor of Chiropractic will perform a complete exam to detect any changes in function, range of motion or strength. Your chiropractor will perform specific, scientific spinal adjustments to realign the spinal column, remove interference to your nervous system, help your body release an anti-inflammatory substance that lowers pain and inflammation in your body, and allow proper health to be restored.
In the days and weeks following a car accident or other injury, many people focus on the most obvious physical effects, such as pain, numbness or tingling, loss of sleep, and restriction of motion. Unfortunately, many people fail to address the emotional effects of the experience. The pain from the injury as well as emotional stress from the trauma can lead to - or combine with - other mental injuries resulting in devastating emotional effects, including:
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Irrational fears
Irritability & Mood Swings
Depression & Anxiety
Sleep disturbances
Flashbacks
Chiropractic helps reduce the effects of physical, chemical, mental and emotional stress on your body.
People who seek chiropractic care in the first few days after a car accident report greater relief and a faster return to normal activity than those who wait to begin care or think the problem "will go away on its own". Many factors affect the degree of injury sustained, including the severity of an accident, the speed and direction the vehicles were traveling, the positioning of the passengers as well as whether or not the vehicle spun and how it came to a stop. During your evaluation in our office, we will discuss the mechanism of your injury, the effects the injury is having on you physically, emotionally and on a day to day basis. Your care in our office will focus on specific spinal adjustments, which have been shown to reduce and ultimately eliminate pain in the affected areas, increase range of motion and restore normal nerve function - allowing the body to function at its best.
